EBL From The Very First Day: Developing New Senses of Place

To develop a new EBL project for all first year geography students to be implemented during the induction weekend residential fieldtrip to Keswick. The exercise will engage students directly with the environment through role play and collaborative mapping, and will be team-based, with students responsible for the design and execution of the fieldwork research. This will be the students first university experience of geography and will immerse them in an EBL project that will stretch them, encourage collaborative, creative and artistic appreciation of place, and also be fun. It will open their eyes to the different ways cultural geography makes places and their own roles in this process.
