Further to Laura's email about an outreach opportunity in Manchester,
there is exciting news about your education and outreach opportunities
across the UK. In partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth
Office, the UK Polar Network can now provide financial support for
members to organise education and outreach initiatives of your own in
your local schools!
Grants of £50 - £200 are available for each school visit to cover your
expenses. The funding will be allocated on merit via a straightforward
application. Organising a polar-themed educational school visit is
great fun, hugely rewarding and very impressive on the all-important
CV. One of the key objectives of the UK Polar Network is to engage the
public about the importance of polar science through education and
outreach and we have an impressive track record of organising events
in schools, museums and science centres across the UK. We will support
you every step of the way in organising your own event!
If you are interested, please contact the UKPN committee for more
information com@polarnetwork.org
We look forward to hearing from you and helping you to inspire the
next generation of polar scientists!
Best wishes,
