About the Event
Join fellow geography educators for a hands-on workshop exploring a brand-new set of curriculum-aligned resources designed to bring urban nature, local geography, and climate action into the classroom.
Developed by Kate Stockings – Trust Lead for Geography at Future Academies and London National Park City Ranger – who has developed a set of resources that share the real-world case studies of projects happening throughout London National Park City aiming to make London greener, healthier and wilder. These resources, with the support of the London National Park City small grants programme, have been carefully mapped to the curriculum to ensure they’re ready to go in both KS3 and KS4 classrooms.
This session will give you tools and inspiration to:
Delve into real-world case studies showing how grassroots action can make London greener, healthier, and wilder
Teach students to consider how small-scale local action can help mitigate and adapt to climate change
Spark imagination, agency, and curiosity in your classroom through learning about projects across London
You’ll get early access to the resources, and the chance to co-create how these materials could be used in schools across the UK.
🎓 Who Should Attend
Secondary geography teachers
Heads of department
Curriculum leads
Educators interested in place-based learning, sustainability, or urban ecology
Whether you’re London-based or just curious about teaching geography differently — this is for you.
London National Park City
The National Park City Foundation is a registered charity (1173267) responsible for London National Park City, the long-term grassroots movements for everyone making their city greener, healthier, and wilder.
London became the world’s first National Park City in 2019, with Adelaide following closely after in 2021, with over a dozen other cities including Chattanooga, Breda, Southampton Rotterdam, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Belfast on the journey.
The Charter of the London National Park City sets out our collective ambition, responsibility and power to help make our city a place where people and nature are better connected. London is almost 50% green and blue space, home to over 18,000 species, with an urban ecosystem every bit as valuable and biodiverse as the UK's rural National Parks, with our own Visitor Centre and volunteer Ranger community.
