One of the best events I've attended and presented at has been the Practical Pedagogies events that were held in 2016 and 2018. The first was held in Toulouse and the second was in Cologne. Russel Tarr is now organising a third running of the event and the call for sessions is now open. I'll be working on this over the weekend.

Brown loves — and has long loved — learning about history, civics, geography and government, in part because he had teachers who brought infectious energy and enthusiasm to those lessons. Of course, we can talk about pedagogy and state standards, but teaching is a people profession. That's always been my ‘why.’

It felt like there were some emerging themes across a number of sessions: the concepts of power, representation and ‘whose Geography’ have now firmly established themselves at the heart of the conference conversation. Clearly, there’s elements of both – a dialogue between Conference and the rest of the community and wider school geography.
