Aurora Expeditions Partners with UpSchool on Arctic Education Course

Australian adventure travel company Aurora Expeditions announced its partnership with Australian-based education platform UpSchool on an Arctic education program, perfect for family travelers. The 10-week course explores the importance of the Arctic region. The program encourages children to create a plan for how their community can contribute to positive environmental change.

UpSchool offers free courses and resources for children and teachers in 110 countries around the world. Following an Arctic expedition with Aurora Expeditions, UpSchool will offer the new 10-week course.

“We are proud to be partnering with UpSchool on this incredible project that will help to raise awareness of the pivotal importance of the Arctic to the health of our planet,” said Michael Heath, CEO, Aurora Expeditions. “Enrichment, education, deepening connections to the remote regions we visit, and creating ambassadors for the protection of the environment is of huge importance to our company, and this partnership is one of many actions we are taking as part of a far-reaching sustainability in action plan.”

The course demonstrates the role the region plays in the lives of people all over the world and educates participants on how everyday choices put pressure on the health of the planet.
