School visits are the key part of the expedition and already more than 10 000 children have been involved in classroom activities that focus on finding solutions to climate change.

Children are our future. By sharing our adventures and experiences with young people we aim to motivate them to take part in sport and outdoor pursuits and to appreciate the natural environment. We investigate and highlight the research, innovative projects and positive initiatives beneficial to the environment that are being carried out in the areas we visit.

School visits are made by crewmembers at each destination throughout the expedition. We teach children passionately about the importance of nature and use fun projects to help children understand global climate change and the importance of sustainable resources. Then the children express their own ideas about how we can care more for our environment and climate through painting and drawing.
