Antony Jinman Education Through Expeditions

Education Through Expeditions

Education Through Expeditions is a not-for-profit, Community Interest Company which aims to provide educators with current and innovative distance-learning resources to support climate change education. Through encouraging the exploration and understanding of different habitats around the world, Education Through Expeditions aims to help educate children about their global environment. The living case studies featured on the site inspire children to consider the world they live in and develop a sense of global community.

In July 2011 Antony was awarded an Honorary Degree Doctor of Education from the University of the West of England for his contribution to Education and the development of Education Through Expeditions.

Education Through Expeditions aims to:

• Inspire and educate children globally about climate change.
• Promote consideration of other communities and foster global citizenship.
• Allow explorers and scientific researchers to communicate their knowledge and experiences to school children globally.
• Build a network where schools, universities and explorers can share their ideas.
• Provide eyewitness and evidence-based accounts of climate change.
• Encourage greener living.

Climate change is occurring on a global scale, and the outlook of Education Through Expeditions reflects this. Expeditions are featured from all over the world, and schools across the globe can get involved. It is our hope that the environment pages not only become portals to learn about expeditions highlighting environmental awareness in these areas, but communities working together on a shared vision of conservation.

What will ETETeachers do for you?

Inspire children and raise a generation of successful learners

Through our online discussion boards, you and your classes can interact directly with explorers and scientists whist they are away on expeditions worldwide. Follow exciting expeditions, such as the International Scott Centenary Expedition, as they happen! Inspire children by interacting with researchers and explorers whilst on projects, and ensure your students gain a true understanding of worldwide environments.

In a recent teacher survey, 100% of respondents said that an interactive link to live expeditions from the classroom is an essential and highly valuable educational resource. ETETeachers has made this possible.

Encourage children to question

ETE encourages a questioning approach and critical thinking about the way we live, thereby improving sustainability awareness and helping your school to be more environmentally focused. With a panel of experts just a click away, ETETeachers enables you to ask questions directly to our ambassadors, knowledgeable scientists and inspiring adventurers worldwide. ETE is working to extend students knowledge and global awareness to areas that may otherwise be overlooked.

Improve sustainability in education

Using our first-hand experiences of living in extreme environments, we can bring a new level of understanding to sustainable living, and adapt this into ways in which we can all improve our impact on our planet.

Raise responsible citizens

ETE promotes the inclusion of environmental and sustainability topics in the curriculum to ensure that students are environmentally aware and considerate, both in schools and in the local community. It is important for children to develop the knowledge, values and skills needed to become confident and responsible individuals.
