Rivers of the world (Vancouver)
Pack your bags!
Economy, trade, history, military, culture and the environment; the largest rivers in the world play a key role on our planet in many respects. In this workshop, your explorers will take a trip on six of these magnificent waterways, i.e. the Amazon, Nile, Ganges, Mekong, Yangtze and the Niger. After listening to fascinating travel stories by our science animator, each team will give an oral presentation, describing the contents of their backpack to make sure they are suitable for their trip on one of the six rivers. No better way to pique their curiosity and be bitten by the travel bug!
