A Sense Of Place

Classroom Workshops and Activities

Biosphere Explorers is an environmental education project set within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere which aims to educate and enthuse local children about the beautiful area that we live in, and reconnect them to nature and the environment, whilst helping them develop the tools they need to become responsible citizens in the challenging future that we all face.

This pack contains five workshops which were originally delivered by a Project Officer to Primary 5-7's, but which have been made available to all teachers in the Biosphere. It is now also online for any educator to use.
