Asia Pacific

2009 Pacific Regional Olympiad

2007 Pacific Regional Olympiad

Dr. Su-Min (Department of Geography of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipeh) and her colleagues organised the 2007 Asia-Pacific Regional Olympiad, which was held in Hsinchu, Taiwan from 12 to 17 July 2007.

Four energetic participating teams (Japan, Malaysia, Mexico and Taiwan) and friendly staffs and volunteers of the host school (Experimental High School at Hsinchu Science Park) made this event a great success.

The tests basically followed the iGeo guideline and the exam sheets are now available on the 2007 APRGO website. GPS was introduced into the fieldwork test and students enjoyed this idea very much. A seminar was held during the event, which offered a great chance for 80 local high-school geography teachers to exchange thoughts with Henk Ankoné, co-chair of the International Geography Olympiad, and all team leaders.
