In-person teacher workshop in Cape Town!
We proudly announce the third Geosciences Information for Teachers - or - GIFT Workshop to be held in the beautiful seaside city of Cape Town, South Africa! This amazing workshop is made possible through generous support from the European Geosciences Union (EGU), Education Committee and the Iziko Museums of South Africa. The Workshop features local experts from the University of Cape Town, SAPRI, SANCCOB, Iziko Museums, Thinking Schools of South Africa and the Two Oceans Aquarium.
Potential participants for the in-person workshop MUST sign up to be considered (DEADLINE IS FRIDAY 26 JULY) and will be notified on Monday 29 July if they have made the list. Geography, Social Science, and Science teachers in Intermediate, Senior and FET Phases will get priority. If you have already attended a past GIFT Workshop, you need to explain how previous workshop(s) have impacted your teaching to be considered. Prioritiy is given to teachers who have never attended one of our workshops.
NOTE: Due to the limited seating at the Iziko Museum, we can only accommodate two teachers from any given school. Fill out the TEACHER INTEREST FORM above to be considered. We apologize in advance that we cannot include more teachers, but we will record the talks and make them available online. Sign up as soon as you can to be considered!

Chosen participants need to commit to attending both days of the program. The EGU will give each participant a daily travel allowance and a light breakfast-lunch will be provided. Each participant will also receive a special "goodie bag" will items to support their teaching.
