Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent in society and many occupational sectors. But what about teaching? Is AI a threat to history and geography teaching, assessment and quality assurance? Or is it the saviour for teacher workload and a creative force that can bring our subjects to life for our pupils? Is it both of these things, or neither? In this special partnership event between the Historical Association and Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), we explore the implications of AI for history and geography in schools and how we can best harness the power of AI for us as teachers and for our pupils.This event will be suitable for primary and secondary teachers of history and geography.Price:&nbsp;&pound;150 HA/RGS member, &pound;195 non-member&nbsp;(all prices are inclusive of VAT and booking fees) <h3 style="color: rgb(153, 36, 42);

Join the Historical Association and the Royal Geographical Society at this special online twilight forum event specifically for primary teachers of history and geography. The theme this time will be climate education and how primary teachers can develop this through their history and geography lessons. With a keynote speaker and workshop sessions from Ailsa Fidler and Emma Espley, plus an opportunity to network and share ideas, this event will support primary teachers to better understand how history and geography can feed into the responsibility of every curriculum subject to educate our young people about the climate crisis and sustainable futures.
Who is the event for?
The forum is aimed at history and geography teachers and subject leaders in primary schools. The event will share ideas that can be adapted to support pupils at EYFS, Key Stage 1 and 2. 
What are the learning outcomes?
This event will: 
support you to better understand how history and geography can feed into the responsibility of every curriculum subject to educate our young people about the climate crisis and sustainable futures 
provide practical examples of how history and geography can feed into teaching about climate 
Why should I attend this event?
There has never been a more important time to focus attention on the climate and nature crisis: leading climate scientists are warning that many of Earth’s ‘vital signs’ have hit record extremes, and a high number of students are concerned about climate change and the future. A recent report from University College London on the role of subjects in climate change and sustainability education recommended that high quality professional development about climate change and sustainability education is urgently needed for all teachers, tailored by subject and age phase and focused on subject knowledge and appropriate pedagogies. It emphasised that subject associations are particularly important role to this and highlighted the benefit of fostering communities of practice such as these as a way of building teacher capacity.
