EUROGEO Action 2010

 

EUROGEO is a participatory NGO at the Council of Europe. Since our formation we have been very active lobbying for Geography in Europe and in promoting Geography as an important subject in schools, colleges and universities.

 

In the past 9 months in supporting our colleagues in Italy, Malta, Cyprus, Finland and Slovakia, where the subject has come under great threat in their education systems.

 

We are maintaining the Geocube site (www.geo-cube.eu) as a product for all to use to help promote what Geography is and geographers do. Our Spanish version is now online :-) Can you help us by translating it into your own language?

 

We have established our journal, the European Journal of Geography http://www.eurogeography.eu/journal/
