GEOGRAPHY - The BEST subject in the World!

You can travel the seas, poles, and deserts and see nothing. To really understand the world you need to get under the skin of the people and places. In other words, learn about geography. I can't imagine a subject more relevant in schools. We'd all be lost without it.

A new city for Saudi Arabia... what's so interesting about that?!

As part of the Y11 Society and Culture course, Kate told us about an amazing current event - the design and building of a brand new city in Saudi Arabia... for women only!! I thought it was interesting from a Geography perspective too.

In GEOGRAPHY it presents a new concept in the reasons for building new cities. WHO will POPULATE it? What will be the EFFECTS of this? What will this mean for the future of Islamic CULTURE?
See Kate's full report for more information on this story.
