Salaam Geographia and Geography Fieldwork

Welcome to Salaam Geographia Fieldwork, your go-to blog for all things geography! Whether you’re a student, teacher, or simply a geography enthusiast, our mission is to inspire and guide you in exploring the dynamic world around us. Fieldwork is so important for geographical studies, offering invaluable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of our environment and communities – including the local, regional and global.

Join us as we delve into creative and effective ideas for geography fieldwork that will enrich your learning experience and bring geographical concepts to life. From urban landscapes and rural environments to cultural diversity and environmental sustainability, our fieldwork ideas will cover a broad spectrum of topics that are not only educational but also engaging and enjoyable.

Why is fieldwork a thing?

Fieldwork allows geographers to experience, observe, collect data, and analyse real-world phenomena in their natural settings. When we go out and about, we bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. It is important to foster critical thinking, decision-making and problem-solving skills. Engaging in fieldwork helps students and their teachers develop a keen eye for detail, with a strong awareness for different environments and cultures, all with the ability to conduct independent research.

SG Launching: GCSE/A level Urban Fieldwork Experience

We have already launched Salaam Geographia’s GCSE/A Level Urban Fieldwork Experience, where urban fieldwork in London becomes a transformative experience for you and your geography students. Our unique learning walks take you through vibrant cityscapes, blending culture, spirituality, and sensory exploration. Engage deeply with the city’s diverse communities as we delve into antiracism and decolonial narratives, uncovering hidden histories and fostering inclusive understanding. Through these immersive journeys, participants will not only explore the urban environment but also develop critical perspectives on social justice, enriching their geographical knowledge with profound, lived experiences. Join us to see London through a new lens and walk the path toward a more equitable future.
