Body Worlds Vital Exhibition

Life Education is thrilled to announce we have been invited to be the education partner of the Body Worlds Vital exhibition coming to New Zealand in April and running through to July.

Body Worlds is a science exhibition which has toured the world for many years. It has been hosted in 121 cities with more than 45 million people attending, but this is the first time it has been to Australasia.

A quote from the marketing material:

“The organisers of Body Worlds believe that when people understand more about how the body works and how it can break down, we are more likely to make better health and wellbeing choices. We hope the exhibition inspires you to join the many millions of previous visitors to Body Worlds who are now actively making positive changes to their lifestyle and eagerly learning more about the science of anatomy and physiology.”

This is a fantastic opportunity for Life Ed and we jumped at the chance to be a partner of this highly regarded exhibition, seeing the benefits as:

It is aligned to our philosophy — educating about the magnificence of the human body.

It is a public event anticipating at least 150,000 visitors and it is expected 20,000 school children will attend with their school, so it provides a wonderful opportunity to integrate their attendance at the exhibition with our teaching in their school.

Being aligned with and associated to a quality science based education experience.

We will be hosting teacher preview days, working with schools as they book and the Body Worlds website will direct teachers to our website for the student and teachers resources, which are part of the programme for schools.

This opportunity is a great example of how Life Education is extending our engagement with the community beyond the mobile classroom.

I’d like to end this update by saying a big thank you to The Warehouse for our annual Scratch ’n’ Match in-store campaign. The Warehouse team were fantastic in their support and contributed greatly to its success.

Onwards and upwards.
