International Network on Learning and Teaching Geography (INLT): The INLT is seeking to build its database and invites anyone interested in Geography Education to sign up to the database for updates and news. There will be a range of geography education sessions at the congress and the Journal of Geography in Higher Education will be hosting its Annual Lecture as well as a series of workshops. We encourage anyone interested in geography education, to join the network listserv. Further details are here.
