We would like to invite you to the Participatory Geographies weekend away
22nd to 24th May 2015
Hathersage, Derbyshire
The annual weekend away is an informal meeting of anyone interested in
participatory geographies - methods, tools and principles. It is a
mixture of focused discussion around particular issues, mutual support
and getting to know others interested in participatory geographies.
The aim is to create a space to share ideas, knowledge, contacts and
problems. To aid this process, to make it both more welcoming and to
help us as organisers to know what people want to focus on we have
organised two introductory events in Sheffield (24th Feb) and London
(26th Feb) (from more info see: http://www.pygyrg.co.uk). You can come
and meet us, decide if you want to come to the weekend and also discuss
what issues are most important for you.
We will be staying at Thorpe Farm Bunkhouse, in the Hope Valley (S32
1BQ). Hathersage is easily accessible by train and we will arrange
transport upto the bunkhouse. Accommodation will be shared rooms (there
are some smaller rooms that families can share). Food will be provided
for breakfast and lunch, and we tend to cook it together. We will go out
for evening meals to a local pub.
Accommodation will cost: £25 for the 2 nights
A total of 20 places are available.
Bursaries are available for post-graduates, unwaged and those without
institutional support. To apply for one please email Sophie Wynne-Jones
([log in to unmask]) outlining why you would like to attend and your
eligibility for support.
Children (though no childcare can be formally provided) and partners
welcome. You do not need to be a member of the Royal Geographical
Society to attend this event.
If you would like to attend please email: Sophie Wynne-Jones
([log in to unmask]) by March 20th 2015.
