[GeoForAll-TeacherTraining] FW: GEOTHNK International Scenario Contest: developing geospatial skills in students

[Suchith Anand]

This is an excellent opportunity for our Teacher training & School education thematic colleagues to get educational scenarios developed from GIS at Schools or gvSIG Batovi experiences for example

Best wishes,

Suchith
