GEES School Engagement

School's Forum for Global Challenges in a Changing World
Tuesday 4th July 2023, 10am-2:30pm

The College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham would like to invite you to a day of exploring Global Challenges and what scientists (from many disciplines) are doing to address them.

Ideally suited for Year 12 students, the day will include interactive activities and talks from leading researchers at the University, including a feature talk from Dr David Gregory-Kumar, the science and environmental correspondent for BBC Midlands.

Designed to engage and inspire both students and teachers, this exciting day will cover a range of interdisciplinary topics.

Join us to discover how together we are developing solutions to ensure a healthier and a more sustainable future.

Thank you to all of the schools who engaged in our Student Ambassador sessions over the last few months.

One teacher said, 'It was a really valuable session, and really inspired them to think about the application of geography in their day to day lives.'

Thank you to all the students and teachers who joined our 2022-2023 School Lecture Series.
