The breadth of topics covered in geography means that sensitive topics such as conflict and climate change are being taught to young people, who may find them challenging and worrying.
In this webinar, Fiona Sheriff will look at how we can tackle these topics in a student-friendly manner without compromising on the knowledge taught.
This session will cover both conflict and climate change and will introduce a range of practical strategies that can be used to help with classroom planning and delivery.
