Mr. Capra's Educational Pursuits in Antarctica
Fuchs Foundation Antarctic Expedition 2010Antarctica Talks !
Hello everyone
After a successful expedition we are now working hard at school. We have prepared some teaching resources and we have done talks about Antarctica in order to try to engage students.
As the holidays approach I will be going to Brazil to do some talks for local schools and the local communities to spread the work of the Fuchs Foundation and to attempt to inspire students on Polar Sciences, Antarctica, Global Warming, the Ozone Depletion problem and Skin Cancer. All of these issues which are related to the work we have done in Antarctica.
I hope it all goes well !
Cheerio
