NUS Geography Challenge 2015 - It's Coming!

Our world of Geography is limitless - it ranges from physical to human geography, from the past extending to beyond the present, to the future. Given such a dynamic collection of concepts and issues, can we then establish the point(s) of convergence to enable us to see geographical issues in a different light, and more so, in the context of our homeland - Singapore?

Following the successful Geography Challenge (GC) that took place earlier this year, GC is back for another great year in 2015! This coming year, we will explore the various dimensions of Geography and challenge ourselves to reflect more deeply about broader geographical issues, through an engaging and interesting approach, just like previous years!

Eager to know more? Stay tuned to this blog for more updates on GC 2015!

Join us in the ride in exploring the awesome world of Geography!
