Island Explorers has partnered with primary schools on four islands in different parts of the world. Pupils on those islands provide the necessary context for the educational journey to begin in an exciting and personal way. Sustainability is explored through the eyes of peers living and going to school on islands. Island Explorers encourages schools undertaking the educational programme to engage with the island school and pupils in multiple ways in order to promote a rich exchange during the programme.
