Horniman with extreme environments workshops

How would you survive in a temperature of -30 °C? Could you K*ll your own food?

We are all seeing the effects of climate and ecological crisis but often the communities living in environmental extremes are those who experience the worst and most devastating impact.

Exploring and handling Museum objects children will explore the Arctic tundra and tropical rainforest biomes in this session. They will uncover the stories behind objects that show how people have traditionally used natural resources to survive.

Children will learn about indigenous groups living in the Arctic and Amazon Rainforest both their traditional ways of life and how things are changing.

After considering how the climate crisis is impacting these communities children will share and present their ideas for positive actions we can all take to lower carbon emissions and reduce deforestation.
