GGIP@GA Conference

GGIP Paper Chain to support Child Poverty

The Issue

The relevance of geography can be shown in simple but unacceptable statistics.

“Every child has the right to go to school. But there are 80 million children who miss out because of poverty.”

What can we do?

We can make a huge paper chain!
http://www.sendmyfriend.org/kids/index.php

At the GA Conference bring your schools paper chain to the GGIP stall and we will create one huge paper chain. The GGIP will send the huge chain to Dr. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor and currently in charge of the G8 and European Union.

The website is excellent many ideas and resources! Here is a guide on how to make your paper chain!

GGiP Blogs

I am Lisa, and I am one of the six elected members of the GGiP Action Committee. I have set up my own blog at http://geographyatmyplace.blogspot.com in association with GGiP to discuss my University experiences, fieldtrips and geographical thoughts.

By doing this, the space on this blog will remain for the most important GGiP announcements, as I don't wish to take over all the space on this shared blog. Please visit my blog too and please feel free to make any comments, questions or suggestions about it.

Best wishes to everyone.

GGIP@GA HAND OF GEOG

The Hand of Geog!

I was going to save this for later but it seems some of us need to get in the spirit of things!

At the GA Conference you will do two things clap for excellent speakers/ presenters and wave at people you have not seen in a while, or just wave at random geographers. This can get very tiring so support the GGIP (and save arm ache) by making a “Hand of Geog” to do your clapping and waving for you!

"Hand of Geog"

Sorry about the poor picture quality taken on a mobile phone.

It is literally a five minute job to make! Download the front here and the back here

You will need……

Two pieces of card (one if you are clever)
Colour printer and PC
A willingness to give geography its place

Further options:

  1. Get your class to make many “Hand of Geogs” take photographs and send it to adtastic2001@yahoo.co.uk...it will then be uploaded to the GGIP website.
  2. Just make one yourself go to a geographical location and take a picture of your “Hand of Geog” with the location as a backdrop.
  3. Ideally at the GA conference I would like to see lots of waving and clapping using your “Hand of Geog” only.

Remember….Geography needs you!

GGIP @ The GA Conference

"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."

Andy Warhol

Please keep checking the blog on a daily basis as every day until it starts there will be a free and daring methods to promote the GGIP at The GA Conference.

Number 1

Many presentations and workshops will be given at the GA Conference with many geographers focused on a projector screen. What better way to promote the GGIP than to have our special GGIP advertisement as your background on your laptop or even incorporate it into your presentation.

Distribution Project

Another chance for you to support the GGIP!

Noel Jenkins @ Juicy Geography has been in contact with Ben Schittler @ Studiobenben to create an excellent opportunity for geographers to unite!

Quoted directly from Juicy Geography:

"Ben was kind enough to send me a sample of the postcards and I was very impressed with both the design and the underlying concept. I like the idea of giving the cards to students to take with them when they visit other countries. It would be great to build up a collection of completed cards as a display in school. The act of filling in the geographic information requires a little creativity and thought, and the results can be used in a variety of ways once the students have returned to the classroom.

The cards come as a set of 4, each one relates to a geographical theme (Climate, Population + Lifestyle, Land, Water and Animals and Industry and Resources. The designs can be seen at Ben's web site."

All information to get hold of the post cards, with some proceeds going to the GGIP view Noels full post here.

Give Geography its Place is Evolving

2007 – a fresh start: Give Geography its Place is evolving.

GGiP is evolving to promote Geography through the work of Geographers. GGiP aims to develop into a stronger and more sustainable organisation by emphasising the strengths and positive benefits of Geography.

After seven and a half months (225 days) of active campaigning on the neglect of Geography, GGiP will in 2007 focus on those positive aspects which will help to ensure a secure future and a higher profile in the media by:

  • improving communication within and between all Geographers
  • actively promoting Geographical ideas and expertise to each other and the media.
Geography is already providing a pivotal role in all our lives – we need to make sure that more people understand and recognise this in 2007.

In order to facilitate these changes, the structure of GGiP is also going through positive change. The co-founders of GGiP Dan and Dave would like to invite Geographers and supporters of Geography to nominate themselves during January 2007 to be part of a new GGiP Action Committee. There will then be an election to decide on six people to take GGiP forward during February with an election result on the 1st of March 2007. GGiP needs students, teachers, academics, professional Geographers and anyone else with a keen interest in securing the future of Geography as an academic subject.

If you are interested in helping to promote the work of GGiP in 2007, please click HERE.

While future policy and decisions will be made by the new GGiP Action Committee, GGiP will maintain its original mission of promoting Geography to the public, especially within the media.

Let us celebrate what GGiP has achieved so far in 2006…

  • nearly 2000 people signed the petition of support and this will continue to grow in 2007
  • e-mails and supportive comments came from over 30 countries around the world
  • GGiP coverage in local, national and international broadcast and print media
  • a letter of warning was sent to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport signed by over 100 leading Geographers from more than 50 different UK universities and educational organisations
  • public support from the Geographical Association, the Field Studies Council, politicians and tens of famous geographers
  • 50,000 participants in the transatlantic Geography Cup with coverage on the BBC, within the Guardian and the Reuters news agency
  • a Geography team winning the competition to edit the listener's edition of the BBC Radio 4 New Years Day Today programme
  • a five by fifty metre aerial sign, one hundred GGiP t-shirts (and more to come), online videos and many more smaller 'big' things…
  • strength by numbers, debate and a greater sense of pride for many Geographers
Are you willing to help continue the work of ‘Give Geography It’s Place’ (GGiP) in 2007?

Note:
  • GGiP is still taking orders for T-Shirts and Blank Maps

Sign the Petition

15 December 2006

Over 1,750 Signatures of Support for GGiP



Give Geograp
hy its Place has now had 1,750 people sign its online petition. Geographers and Geography supporters from all over the world have logged on and signed up... have you? Sign up here.


THE PETITION

The petition aims to draw support from parents and members of the public in order that young people develop the necessary geographic knowledge of the physical world and the human world and the ways that they interact to influence our daily lives.

As news reports of famine, global warming, the energy crisis, transport issues, urban growth, immigration and natural disasters hit the headlines, young people need to be well informed so that they can understand these issues and give a reasoned opinion - amongst the academic subjects, only Geography gives that vital overview that develops the necessary knowledge and understanding of how we can cope with these key issues.


Geography is rightly regarded by universities and employers as a valuable academic subject to study - not because it trains you for a particular job but because it develops useful transferable skills such as analysis and synthesis and provides young people with a context for understanding issues which affect us all at work and in our daily lives.

We need to encourage more students to join the quarter of million students who already opt each year to study this valuable subject. Help us to achieve this aim by showing your support.
The initial GGiP teacher petition which we launched in May attracted 1,500 signatures. We have now moved over to this online petition to make management of the larger public petition more straightforward and efficient. Join those 1,500 geography teachers and supporters from across the UK and beyond and show your support for modern Geography

DESIRED OUTCOME

1. To raise the public profile of Geography as an academic subject in all forms of the media (newspapers, magazines, tv, radio, the internet, advertising, etc).

2. To increase awareness of the importance of Geography and the vital role that it plays in schools, colleges and universities in preparing young people for the complexities of life in the 21st century.


3. To reach the point where major media outlets give recognition that geography is distinct and an essential part of our children’s education. The main indicator for this is that the print, TV, radio and online organisations employ key people with responsibility for explicitly geographical content and for commissioning geography works.

FRIDAY
…increase people’s access to HIV medicine
In poor countries nearly 7 million people have developed HIV to the extent they urgently need medicines. Half of those that get the drugs they need rely on cheaper generic medicines made in India. Giant drug company Novartis is challenging Indian Patent Law in the courts. If they win, this will limit India’s ability to produce and export cheaper drugs to other developing countries. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/what_you_can_do/campaign/mtf/actions/novartis.htm

SATURDAY
…fight climate change
The UK government is failing to take the necessary action to prevent the chaos that climate change will cause. That's why together we have launched the I Count campaign.
http://www.icount.org.uk/my_actions/

SUNDAY
…educate the decision makers of tomorrow to understand our world
Geography as a subject has never been more relevant than it is now. Modern Geography engages people in debates about issues that are constantly headlining the media - migration, water shortages, natural hazards, famine, globalisation, sustainable energy, transport policy, employment, crime, urban deprivation, global warming. Sadly Geography is undervalued by decision makers and the media. Help change this by showing your support for the subject.

Channel 4 Geography

Channel 4 in the UK uses lots of good geography, it just doesn't realise it and tell its audience. The only exception to this is within the Learning section of the website when the channel gives help for revision etc. What Give Geography its Place wants is for Geography to be thought about from the very beginning so that programmes are produced and promoted with Geography at the heart of them. Once more, when programmes are made that have a distinctive geographical angle, aspect or nature they should be linked through common themes to one and another.

In a recent audit for Channel 4 of the channel's website by GGiP a number of microsites and programmes came up. This is not an entire list, but does give a feel for where Geography sits on the channel. It prooves that Channel 4 has an audience of people who are very interested in geographcial issues and events. GGiP's concern is that the audience may not be aware that they are exploring geography because (with the exception of Nick Middleton) Geographers are not used (or worse still, Geographers fail to call themselves Geographers).

Each weblink below is backed up by a star system (strength of link to the UK Geography curriclum... the greater the number of stars the stronger the link), a suggestion of key stage link within the English Geography Curriculum and a number of questions that place where the microsite or programme sits within Geography.

So...

Channel 4, don't let all these interconnected issues and places remain seperate. Use Geography to link them so that we can have a better understanding of them as the people, places, spaces and environments that link them together. Take a look at the wikipedia Geography Portal, why not put somthing like that within a Relation Browser?




Is the World Really Shrinking?

On the 9th of November Geography Professor Doreen Massey took part in the BBC Radio 3 festival of Free Thinking. In this lecture she argues:
  • Distance hasn't been abolished - it's simply been crumpled and distorted.
  • Even then geography is about more than distance; it's about the existence of simultaneous variety - of peoples, places, and cultures.
  • The cultural gaps, the social distances, the gulfs in understandings of the world, despite everything, remain strong. And increasing inequality ensures this is so.
  • The very argument that we should all become the same is a vision provoking its precise opposite - the reassertion of local specificity.
  • In fact, we persistently evade the starkness of these differences. Imagining other cultures as stuck at the back of a historical queue - 'developing' countries waiting to become 'developed', for instance, diminishes their actually-existing difference now.
This is a superb lecture that clearly outlines the importance of Geography in understanding our world and promoting the subject in the process. Well done Doreen! Listen again here.

Stern Geography

Spotted by Geographer Simon Oakes and brought to GGiP's attention on SLN, the Stern Review on Climate Change raises how physical and human geographies could change.

"Climate change could have very serious impacts on growth and development. If no action is taken to reduce emissions, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could reach double its pre-industrial level as early as 2035, virtually committing us to a global average temperature rise of over 2'C. In the longer term, there would be more than a 50% chance that the temperature rise would exceed 5'C. This rise would be very dangerous indeed; it is equivalent to the change in average temperatures from the last ice age to today. Such a radical change in the physical geography of the world must lead to major changes in the human geography where people live and how they live their lives." http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/8A8/C1/Summary_of_Conclusions.pdf


Who better to make sense of these changes than Geographers?
