A Google Alert alerted me that my name had been mentioned and it turns out to be connected with one of the students who I met at the RGS Awards a couple of weeks ago. I was mentioned in the Southern Daily Echo.
Bella Stewart, from Walhampton School, was named as one of the winners in the Young Geographer of the Year competition, organised by the Royal Geographical Society.
I handed out her prize and certificate at the ceremony.
Professor Joe Smith, director of the Society said: "Congratulations to the winners and everyone who took part in the competition. I am always impressed by the creativity on show in the entries to Young Geographer of the Year, and it is no different this year.
"The students have clearly demonstrated how geographical skills and thinking are vital for addressing global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss, and they give me hope that the next generation of geographers is well equipped to drive forward the changes needed to ensure a sustainable future for us all."
Well done Bella!
