Now entering its fifth year, Colliers Green Focus is provided free to all participating schools by Colliers International. It supports the teaching of the 'sense of place' theme of the geography curriculum in an innovative and inspiring way, using photography as a creative medium to explore local sites, opening up fresh perceptions and critical perspectives.
Schools can take part in one of two ways:
COMPACT: Our professional team lead a workshop with a school group
MOBILE: Teachers attend our free INSET training and lead their own activities back at school.
Every year participating students' photographs are entered into our national competition and have the chance to see their work presented at the Colliers Green Focus Annual Awards in London.
Find out how your school can take part in Colliers Green Focus.
