How are peoples’ wishes different? Do they change depending on where you live in the country? Does age or gender matter? What do you want? What would you change? What is acceptable and what is unacceptable? 

A team of geographers aim to find some basic patterns to show what people dream for and where. It will also discover what you think is most unacceptable in life and if some parts of the country think that kissing in public is more acceptable than others….

You must be in Britain and in KS3 (Years 7, 8 or 9) to take part in this research. The data collected will end up playing a part on some of your geography lessons!
