ITGC hosts the annual Antarctica Festival, celebrating the 1 December 1959 signing of the Antarctic Treaty with a series of educational talks and activities for students of all ages. Join us this year for the event, which coincides with the first week of December.
2022 Antarctica Week Festival
28 November to 1 December - featuring four talks from Antarctic researchers
We celebrated Antarctica with a month-long event with online talks, activities, and materials about Antarctica.
Our first Antarctica Festival during covid gave us the opportunity to host ten webinars by our researchers from the US, UK, and some at McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
In 2019 we paired our researchers from the UK, US, and at all stages of their careers with schools across the continents to answer students questions about the Antarctic! Many of these talks were in person and held in classrooms while others were conducted remotely.
To begin our initial year of research, ITGC scheduled meetings online and in person at schools in the UK and the US to present why polar research matters and what it’s like living and working in Antarctica.
