Taking our final year @exeter.ac.uk students on the first fieldtrip to Avignon, France. The whole trip is via rail, as #ExeterGeography decarbonises field courses. Led by the fantastic Dr @rebeccasandover.bsky.social
We’ve arrived in Avignon and the new #exetergeography field course is launched! Travelling by train from the UK enables us to run more sustainable field trips. We’re focusing on themes related to Sustainable Food, Migration & Urban Utopias explored in Avignon & Marseille @exeter.ac.uk
