“Volcano Live” – how will this enthralling BBC2 programme inspire you and your pupils?

There is a growing and great demand for Earth Scientists around the world; this programme can only help to inspire (and perhaps “set on fire”!) young, motivated minds who may be wondering where their love of geography could professionally take them.

“Volcano Live” is doing a great job of increasing the fascination for geography and, in particular, Natural Hazards – their monitoring, understanding and the mitigation of their effects upon human activities.

You only have to look at Twitter to see how hot a topic geography is at the moment!  There has never been so much tweeting!

We have long been sharing our passion with schools and as the programme so beautifully illustrates, there is nothing better than actually being there, standing amidst, a variety of volcanic landscapes and volcanic landforms – in the real world.

This is when full geographical understanding and appreciation of our planet’s inner workings is gained.

So, now is the perfect time to “fire up” the enthusiasm that “Volcano Live” is generating amongst your pupils, and for you to propose a Geography Tour for 2013.

With our multiple award winning Study Handbooks/Destination Guides, specialist and knowledgeable staff, and a team of Field Study Tutors, we can guarantee an ever increasing passion for Geography developing in your school. Who knows who might be presenting the next such TV programme on our screens!
