Each month we are shining a spotlight on the work of one of Think Global’s member organisations.

This month’s spotlight is on The Geographical Association (GA), the leading subject association for teachers of geography.

The GA support teachers’ professional needs through their journals, publications, training courses, Annual Conference, Quality Marks, teaching resources, social media activity and a variety of local and national network activities. They have several thousand members including primary and secondary teachers, through to academics and businesses. If you or your organisation is interested in becoming a member you can join the GA here.

Find out more about the GA’s work on their website.
