Virtual outreach FAQs
Our online workshops allow our experts to share unique knowledge with your learners through a digital platform. We will use Microsoft Teams to connect your learners from their classroom, venue or from home with our experts in the zoo.
All of our virtual zoo sessions include virtual tours of our animal and plant collections, opportunities for Q+A’s with our team of experts as well as exclusive resources for your learners to complete before, during or after your virtual zoo session. Each session is slightly different so please check the different options here.
