Geography enables a range of skills to be understood and applied, including developing the use of evidence based evaluation, real world analysis and application of key processes. Geography puts real world news events into context, allows us to understand the logistics of historical events as well as understanding changes both globally and locally. Geographic skills guide important decisions every day from architecture to politics to the physical landscape—all of which frame the debates happening today, shaping our future.
