Geosciences Information for Teachers virtual workshop (vGIFT) 2021
Our Geoscience Information for Teachers (GIFT) workshop will run virtually for the first time as part of the EGU General Assembly in a series of six half-day sessions between April 19 and 29, 2021. Each session starts with a short introduction, has two 30 minute and one 15 minute presentation, followed by an hour-long ‘hands on’ workshop, and a 45 minute-long ‘networking event’.
The workshop will be joined by 190 participants from 30 countries and different time zones around the world, who have all pre-registered and been accepted.
The networking events will use the Gathertown platform. Please note that when using Gathertown it is recommended to use the Google Chrome web browser.
