Learning Planet Special! How to kayak (in the Artic)
Kayaking is an international sporting phenomenon, but where does it come from and what’s its place in the culture of the people who created it? In this episode of Old-School, we talk to Global Teacher Prize Winner Maggie MacDonnell about her work with Indigenous Communities in the Artic and how they are reclaiming traditional skills like kayaking. Recorded live at the 2023 Learning Planet Festival.
