University of Sheffield – School of Geography & Planning

Our Y12 Geographers headed to Kelham Island on 3rd December 2025 for an exciting planning workshop!
They explored real-world decision-making challenges involving derelict buildings around the area they were debating what should happen next and how spaces can be transformed for the community. 🏚️➡️🏗️
Students took on role-play characters with different priorities, from local residents to business owners, and discovered just how complex sustainable planning can be. 💬🌍
A brilliant, hands-on experience that brought geography to life!
