Learning about the world through local eyes

We’re transforming the way that young people engage with and learn about the world, through their study of Geography.

Our Story

Starting life as a YouTube Channel under the name ‘That Geography Channel’ in 2024, a question kept arising during the video research process. How can aspects of a country’s geography be told fairly and with local consideration, by an outsider? Despite videos being well received, it became increasingly difficult to bypass this ethical consideration – and so the channel’s purpose needed to be amended and rebranded to give a focus to local people telling their own stories about the places they inhabit.

We are an Education Studio, creating a world where knowledge born through collaboration with local communities and experts is valued and respected. We do this by crafting education resources and content for:

  • Geography teachers who want to increase the scope of the case studies that they teach.
  • Home educators who desire to broaden their children’s outlook on the world.
  • Lifelong learners whose interest in their heritage and the world around them, drives them to hunt for more knowledge. 

How We achieve Our Mission

We Document

By connecting with local communities and experts engaged in geography-related practices, we capture their work and knowledge on film and create engaging episodes of video content, all freely available on our YouTube Channel.

We Transform

Combining our geography teaching experience with the local knowledge collected, we create detailed lesson plans and accessible learning resources for secondary-aged children. And for those not strictly comfortable with teaching the lessons, prerecorded versions have also been developed. All of these are available in our Education Shop.

We Support

With a firm belief that Geography should be relevant and accessible, we help both subject and non-subject specialists use the resources and connect directly with local communities – bringing our lessons to life. 

 

What We Value

Creativity

We believe in crafting lessons and content in fun and engaging ways, that promote creative thinking and enhance creative skills.

Curiousity

We are driven by an insatiable curiosity – a need to understand why and how things occur. We question to understand and never to undermine.

Respect

We are respectful of ideas and customs that are different to our own. Validating everybody’s lived experiences by crafting quality education resources and media assets, reflective of varying experiences and refraining from language which promotes hierarchal categorisation of knowledge and experience. 

Integrity

We ensure that the stories that are told, the resources that are created and the media that is captured stays true to the words of the communities sharing. We always seek to understand places and environments through the lens of lived experience, rather than outside imposition.

Founder and Geography Educator
Jade is a passionate Geographer, having completed her undergraduate degree in Geography at King's College London, and now has 5 years of local and international experience as a Secondary Geography Teacher. Jade became disgruntled with the archaic generalisations and stigmas that seem to persist in modern Geography lessons, and impact students of varying cultures and backgrounds in negative ways. Alongside this, she was alarmed at teaching her students the exact same case studies that she learnt about over 10 years ago. With a fierce desire to create change, and encourage student engagement with the subject outside of 'only choosing Geography for the trip', the initial seeds of 'My Home, Our World' were planted, and the rest as they say, is history.
