The Trust’s Inspiring Explorers Education™ team travel around New Zealand to bring our virtual reality experiences to schools, community groups, public venues, and festivals.
The Trust’s education programme is supported by a suite of resources, and aims to help participants:
- gain a deeper understanding of the huts we care for and their significance in shaping the course of Antarctic history.
- be inspired by the polar explorers’ stories.
- learn more about our conservation work and New Zealand’s long connection with Antarctica.
