We are now organising school/site visits for Summer/Autumn 09.

Do you know a school that would like to get out of the classroom and learn about spatial planning as part of their citizenship/geography syllabus?

Or are you a teacher or a youth worker that would like to take your students/pupils out of the classroom to learn about spatial planning in an area local to you?

Pupils/student groups would be provided with a gps watch, video headset and sound recorder to use as part of their learning experience. Their exerience, captured through sound, video and photography, will be loaded to this website.
