Exterior of Mediterranean Biome at Eden Project

Schools Workshop: Roam Across the World @ Eden (year 6-11)

Where else can you travel the entire world in a single day? In this workshop, students will journey across the Eden Project site, discovering plants and exhibits from all over the world.

This session enables your pupils to develop important life skills, such as effective communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. It’s been designed to celebrate the awe and wonder of this place and is focused on providing learners with an understanding of the importance of nature that will contribute to them becoming responsible and engaged citizens. This workshop will take your students into both our Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes and around parts of our Outdoor Gardens.

Workshop overview

What happens in the workshop

Beginning in one of our classrooms, your students will organise themselves into teams before plotting their route around the Eden Project site.

Students will then roam across the site, completing challenges and gaining knowledge relating to some of our most popular exhibits. At each checkpoint, they will also earn ‘currency’ that they will need after they cross the finish line.

Upon their return to the Core, they will take it in turns to use the ‘currency’ that that have earned and the knowledge they have gained to attempt to win a prize for their team.
