“The GIEI” or the “Expedition & Institute” is a <\/span>public geography initiative that seeks to bridge the worlds of academic and everyday geographical thinking; to explore our metacognition of space, place, region, scale and landscape; and to travel beyond the \u201csingle story\u201d we often have of peoples and places down the street and around the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Between 2014-2020, the main project of the Expedition & Institute was an hour-long, monthly-produced radio essay program broadcast from <\/span>Radio Fabrik<\/span><\/a>, a community radio station located in Salzburg, Austria. <\/span>Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing<\/span><\/i> ran for <\/span>60 episodes<\/span><\/a>, each lasting 53 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As an inquiry-based project, <\/span>Geographical Imaginations<\/span><\/i> asked questions and explored themes through dialogues with different texts and voices. Inevitably, the explorations returned to simple, yet complex, questions. How does _____ inform the way I picture the world in my head? How does that picture, in turn, limit or expand my place in the world?<\/span><\/p>\n In each episode the show made short \u201cexpeditions\u201d investigating the geographies of _____. While many of the episodes dealt with Central European regional topics, the Expedition & Institute also traveled to and produced radio essays from Tanzania, Zanzibar, Cuba and The Arctic to bring the world back home to Austria and to listeners from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n The Expedition & Institute has also developed inquiry-based, project-based and experiential learning projects and scenarios for teachers and students in Grades 6-12. These include: ASKing the World, <\/span>ASKing the Arctic<\/span><\/a><\/span>, World as Village: 100 People, TransAtlantic Cable, The Salzburg Geographical Expedition and The Salzburg Rhythmanalysis Project.<\/span><\/p>\n The GIEI continues to develop multimedia content and curriculum for expanding the ways geography is taught at the secondary school level. The Expedition & Institute is currently designing a 10-14 day Field Camp in Spain for high school human geography students and teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.geographicalimaginations.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GIEI-Borges.001.jpeg” title_text=”GIEI-Borges.001″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/9D7l45lSRzY” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” width=”89%” module_alignment=”center” sticky_enabled=”0″]
