add a get variable django

I have a (what I think) is a pretty basic question about appending a get variable to url in django. I have a filter sidebar on the page which creates a list of available classes based on the selection the user makes in the sidebar. For example, user may click on Aquatics class as a filter(other filters include things like location,price, time of day,etc) it will produce a list of aquatics classes available. Obviously, you can revise the search by choosing a specific location and now it should show a list of aquatics classes in that location. what I would like is to make it so that every time use makes a choice, it adds a get variable to url like so: example.com/search?category=1&location=3. I'm not sure how I should go about it in the template. I know I need to get the list of variables by doing something like this 

{% for k, v in request.GET.iteritems %}
    {{ k }}={{ v }}&
{% endfor %}

But I dont really know what to do next... Could someone point me in the right direction?

You need to use this. request.GET.urlencode

That code automatically encode your GET parameter into URL friendly.
