Future geographers
Future Geographers was a special Conference 2026 programme on 10 April of talks and activities designed specially for students aged 16–18. Each session was designed to enthuse them about geography and its wide-ranging applications, enable them to think beyond school toward university and possible careers in geography.
We invited teachers to bring up to six students each to the GA Annual Conference on Friday 10 April 2026, where they will take part in their own programme of sessions, including workshops and special talks with young geographers, influencers and academics.
Places were free of charge and available to students of GA members only.
