Earthwatch Learning 

Earthwatch is passionate about engaging different educational audiences in field research and experiential learning but we acknowledge that different groups learn in different ways. Providing opportunities for educators and young people to get involved with our in-field conservation research work is of great importance to us.

Through specific programmes which provide these individuals with funded places, we are able to meet their particular learning and developmental needs. This hands on learning supported by our growing library of learning resources, can help young people and educators to become environmental stewards and leaders within their schools, institutions and communities.

"An amazing week with a group of like-minded people. Lots of fun, along with thought provoking discussion and experiences. A definite inspiration to both my teaching and life out of school."
