Changing Horizons in Geography Education - HERODOT Network ...

Figure 3. BoE years per entity and Annual Congress organisersbeen recently revived again. Greece developed into an active EGEA country sinceMytilene started in 2000. Slovenia has a strong entity in Ljubljana, responsible forthe start of other entities in the region. Zagreb is a very active entity in Croatia since1999, and in the recent years Belgrade and Novi Sad are developed into two activeentities in Serbia. From Spain many different entities have participated in EGEAcongress, but they seem unable to establish a sustainable entity.One of the EGEA founders, Barcelona died more or less in 1994 and was backin 2000 and 2004. Because of efforts from EGEA Valencia, new entities have beenestablished in Spain. Portugal has been very active in the network, especially Portoand Lisbon, but at the moment there is not much activity. France has a relativelylow number of entities, compared to the size of the country. The United Kingdomis heavily underrepresented in the EGEA network given the number of geographydepartments. Since 2000 Glasgow is a steady entity. Italy has been totally absentin the whole EGEA history except for one participant from Genoa in 2000. Fromthe beginning EGEA was present in different parts of Europe. The development ofEGEA does not show a specific geographical direction of growth but there are somestriking blank spots on the EGEA map.The number of members that an entity has had in the Board of Executives – BoE(Figure 3) tells something more about which entities played a main role in the network.199
