The Voyage of Kiri is...

... an educational program about climate adaptation and water issues, connecting students from Santa Barbara to southern Mexico through online international exchange. The program will take place from December '09 to May '10, visiting middle and high schools (13-18 year olds). In short, awesome adventure and cross-cultural environmental education!

About

Climate change is affecting far away places like the Arctic and tropical islands. But what is happening in coastal Mexico? And how are people responding? The Voyage of Kiri is traveling the Pacific coast from April to August exploring issues of climate adaptation and the solutions of sustainable design. From September to March, we will be visiting a few other places, and writing a book about the voyage.
