Restless Earth/teaching approach

This is a free workshop offered by the British Cartographic Society (BCS). It involves small groups of students assigned roles to represent various disaster recovery agencies. Learning and teaching focuses around small group work, co-enquiry, exploring ideas alongside negotiation, enquiry-based learning as well as a final whole class dialogue. The overall aim of the workshop is for each group to produce a map suitable to meet the needs of the various disaster recovery agencies.

BCS organise and supervise the event on the day. They run the workshops throughout the year at a variety of locations. Schools can host their own event or attend an organised one elsewhere. The only proviso is that BCS have access to a large hall with Internet available.
