The King’s School Geography Department invites geography students in years 12 and 13, their families and Royal Geographical Society members to join us in attending a series of geography youth micro-lectures. We are pleased to offer eight selected lectures by students from schools such as The Peterborough School, Nene Park Academy and The King’s School who delivered last year on a variety of topics.
Each talk is prepared by the student and reflects an aspect on the theme People, prosperity, planet, partnership and peace from the UN Resolution 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Students have chosen to present on a super-curricular geography subject that they are passionate about to a public audience including fellows and members of the Society.
The evening will be hosted by Farnaz Ganji.
