Year 7 club 9 geographers

On Tuesday the 24th of June Year 7 Club 9 geographers participated in a workshop about vulnerability. Each student was given a personal profile and were asked to consider which factors made them more or less vulnerable to natural hazards, before heading out onto the field to see the stark contrast between levels of susceptibility around the world. In the second portion of the workshop students had the opportunity to explore a GIS system and research the data behind natural hazards and vulnerable populations in a variety of countries. It was a pleasure to see the Year 7’s so engaged and to really start understanding inequality and global variation in disaster risk and vulnerability.
