Beyond the Bike - Stuart’s Epic Economic Cycle
17th July 2011
Stuart Block, an economics teacher at Cranleigh School and tutor2u presenter/blogger is just days away from a cycle of a lifetime. He is making final preparations to cycle from Cape Town to London over the course of the next year. It will be a fantastic journey and at tutor2u we’re excited to be partnering Stuart and his team as they write about their experiences on the road and with many different communities.
Here are some important links to follow:
Beyond the Bike - the main web page for Stuart’s expedition including links to fund-raising projects
The Economic Cycle - this is a blog that will be aimed at A-level & undergraduate students and teachers and aims to explore some of the fundamental economics principles that underlie the everyday actions of societies that Stuart will be passing through, ranging from the most basic Africa market operating outside of the formal economy to high level international policymaking. An ongoing theme will be exploring the role that education plays in economic development. Look out for an RES essay competition title on this crucial issue when the essay titles are released later on in the autumn.
Watch out for the main weekly blog which will be sent out to colleagues via our regular teacher newsletter.
Fans of Twitter might like to follow Stuart here. And there is also an open group on Facebook - click here
The whole of the tutor2u team send their very best wishes to Stuart as he embarks on his journey!
