Conclusions 3rd RODE HOED Meeting (20 May 2008)
• GEO vocational training and Bachelor level completely unknown
• Current image of GEO too narrow and often negative.
• Mismatch between science students and the geography subjects
“Wel eens van gehoord, weet niet wat het inhoudt” +“nog nooit van gehoord”

Why project is necessary
