The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) is a learned society, professional body and charity representing geography and geographers.
The Society supports teaching and geographical learning, and the education of people of all ages for life as local and global citizens in a rapidly changing world. It does this through a programme of research about our world´s environments and societies; supporting geographical education at school, college and university as well as learning in the real world about real places, especially by young people.
The Society´s public engagement programme includes lectures, conferences and courses on geographical issues; it advises government and others and its aim is to promote informed debate, information sharing and the wider enjoyment of geography by all.
