Geolearning Forum
iEarth aims to create a meeting place for teachers in geoscience from all over the country to exchange experiences and learn from each other. Teacher’s Retreat was created to cover this purpose with the goal of making it an annual event. The locality for the retreat will change from year to year to facilitate easy access for all teachers in Norway.
