Welcome to Education Through Expeditions

Education, Inspiration and Adventure

Expeditions are living case studies of our complex and dynamic natural world

Welcome to Education Through Expeditions. Our website is currently launching and we would love you to have a look around. Soon you will be able to search for expeditions using our interactive map, but for the moment use the boxes to navigate to the expedition spaces. As a Community Interest Company, Education Through Expeditions is all about working together and we are delighted to be featuring with some really exciting projects.

Using Education Through Expeditions

By engaging with the features of the map, students can join them in real time, as they are taking place. They can explore locations, learn about how the landscapes were formed, how populations migrate, monitor the impact of climate change, watch the interaction of its inhabitants with their surroundings and investigate the interconnection between diverse economies, societies and environments.

At a more advanced level, through an expedition’s scientific research and projects, students will watch and follow fieldwork as it takes place.

They will be at the interface of scientific theory and practical experience, inspiring curiosity of world phenomena and its possible explanations.

Engaging education through the world map

The world map is pertinent to formal, informal and non-formal learning of adults and children, although its principle target group is children through connections with the school curriculum. It will feed directly into the learning of geography, sciences, citizenship and community. Through working in groups and teams the resource is designed to develop interpersonal communication skills, confidence, self-esteem, critical thinking, co-operation and conflict resolution. All are core to building motivation and achievement in young people.
