Mission:Explore at Festivals

We create workshops and produce interventions at summer festivals. In 2011 you can meet us in the kids areas at Sunrise, Glastonbury and Latitude festivals. We may be at some others too…

Mission:Explore has a purpose. We think that the world is awesome and that making sense of it is important. We do this through an approach to exploring, questioning, playing, experimenting and experiencing our planet we call guerrilla geography. Our children’s activities are developed to encourage creative and critical thinking about the world in which they live while having a great deal of fun.

We think it’s important that children are encouraged to play and learn outdoors, that they have positive and role models and that they learn to be kind to themselves, other people, wildlife and the environment. It’s for these reasons that Pink Stinks, WWF, nef, National Geographic, Play England Orange and lots of other people have given us praise, approval or awards.

Mission:Explore is written by The Geography Collective and illustrated by one of our members, Tom Morgan-Jones. The books are published by Can of Worms Kids Press and the website and app have been developed by The Workshop with some much welcome support from GeoVation.
