PRIZE for the most creative response(s)

“Children of all ages have an appetite for thirst for exploration, adventure and challenge. And the world around them, while not without its

dangers, is full of wonder, surprise and delight.

Yet all too often, we grown-ups let fear and anxiety get the better of us, and get in the way

of giving children a taste of freedom. So hats off to the Geography Collective for taking a stand against the cotton wool culture and doing their bit to expand the horizons of

childhood.”

Tim Gill, author of ‘No Fear: Growing up in a risk averse society’
