The activities aim to build connection with nature, which describes our lasting relationship with nature, including emotions, attitudes and behaviour, through the Five Pathways of Nature Connection.

Specific resource packs will be available to motivate and support schools, which include the 31 activities, extra resources and ideas to extend these, as well as some simple evaluation to provide teachers with assessment for learning.

3D Trick Art Gallery encourages visitors to interact with immersive artwork. Visitors are free to touch and pose with the artwork, as long as they remain respectful and do not damage the artworks.

Upon arrival, the staff will provide a quick introduction to all groups to explain the concept of the artwork and provide instructions on the best way to take photos.

This process usually takes around 2 to 3 minutes. The visit is then self-guided, with assistance available if required. A minimum of 1 hour is recommended for a visit to 3D Trick Art Gallery, depending on the size of your group.

Andrea Milligan, Experience

Wellington’s Manager, Learning and senior lecturer in teacher education at Victoria University of Wellington shared her insights about the benefits of education outside the classroom. “Our research with teachers and schools shows that visits can fuel ākonga inquiries and interests. The opportunities to connect learning across EOTC sites are enormous. Stories about how our histories have shaped our present-day lives, for example, can be shared through Experience Wellington’s toi, taonga, and exhibition spaces. This sparks curiosity, creativity, and ideas about contributing to change”.

Ms Milligan’s advice to teachers for getting the most out of education outside the classroom is about collaboration: “Working with Experience Wellington learning specialists to reach a shared understanding of your learners and their questions is key. Talk with us about your local curriculum and learning focus so that we can help to bring that to life.”
