The Wettest Classroom on Earth Project
Collaboration between Venturers Trust, Extreme Classrooms, Whole Education and Kunskapsskolan.
The Wettest Classroom on Earth - an inspirational journey and an outstanding opportunity for children from upper primary age to sixth form students.
Part of the Extreme Classroom series of events, this innovative and inclusive initiative brings together students from across the country, representing mainstream and special schools. Working as a team, pupils will navigate their way around the British coast, learning precious life skills and experiencing life on the open sea in this opportunity of a lifetime.
The Wettest Classroom on Earth was made possible by the generous support of the trust's sponsor The Society of Merchant Venturers.
