The Norwegian Ski Adventure Story –Celebrating The International Polar Day on December 13 2007
The museum celebrated the International Polar Day as a part of a school week at the centre.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was allocated to secondary schools. The schools had lectures about the situation in polar areas and how people can have influence on the climate.
Beforehand, the students were challenged to decorate a Christmas tree with garbage to focus on our consumption right before Christmas (see picture).
The students also watched the movie by Al Gore: ”The Inconvenient Truth”
On Friday December 14, the day Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911, we focused on energy issues. Altogether 240 students and teachers participated in this Polar Week.
