Geographers of the future

Fieldwork is an important aspect of geography and helps develop an array of useful life skills. Fieldwork can be challenging, informative, sometimes messy but often a lot of fun. It allows students to explore issues and questions in a real-world context and to question their own findings. It nurtures analytical and critical thinking and helps to build resilience.
