The Islamophobia and racism we are seeing are abhorrent. I agree that as a community Geographers should stand with those experiencing violence and discrimination. Geographical education can be a tool to challenge ignorance and the politics of hate to build more hopeful futures.

[Iram Sammar @IramSammar]

Can we have some solidarity #geography community? Muslim, Black and Global Majority people are under attack. Education hasn't worked. Children are impacted the most. You know when you have privilege.

@geoteachrach Happy to help!

@stevewillshaw @MyattandCo @fiona_616 @lcgeography @geogramblings @theislandgeogr @kate_stockings @EduCaiti @DrAMpofuColes @Map_Addict @school21_uk @voice21oracy In particular I've focused on using techniques to develop exploratory talk in pairs and small groups to strengthen geographical writing

@katielockett Your dress is lovely too and matches A's dress at a recent wedding we attended!

[Louise Holyoak @louiseholyoak]

I've been surprised at the number of people who didn't realise teachers aren't paid for strike days...

[Ben Newmark @bennewmark]

I've written this with the help of others to quickly explain school strikes to people who might not understand. Feel free to use if you want. It's an image so you can just save it if useful.

@voice21oracy The link doesn't work!

[Louise Holyoak @louiseholyoak]

@katielockett Exactly my situation too!

[Louise Holyoak @louiseholyoak]

Wealth of resources and case studies/context sheets being developed and shared https://t.co/BAvydEFMgA if you have been to any #decolonisegeography session, or are looking to update/reflect on case studies see if there’s something here for you. #geographyteacher #GAConf23

[hermione (she/they) @hermionemiao]

Saturday starts with @DecoloniseGeog at #GAConf23
Reading the case study on #Haiti 🇭🇹

It reminds me of my wonderful friend who wrote her PhD thesis (defended in 2022) about environmental designs to rebuild Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake. #collaboration #geographies

[Louise Holyoak @louiseholyoak]
