Cape Farewell Canada
7 September - 20 September 2008
Landmark International Youth Expedition
The 2008 Expedition was organised in collaboration with the British Council, Canada. 28 students from across the world, including the UK, Mexico, Brazil, Northern Ireland, Canada and India traveled to the west coast of Greenland. The students were youth ambassadors for their schools and communities. From the Arctic they each completed art and science projects and talked live to their schools, communicating the global impact of climate change to their local communities.
The 2008 Youth Expedition was broadcast online. Follow the journey of these youth ambassadors on the dedicated Youth Expedition website.

The whole of the Youth Expedition embodies everything Cape Farewell is about. Each participant had to engage with both science and art. The art they have been producing has been inspired by the science they learnt, what they experienced during the voyage and their own narratives of being in the Arctic. Unlike school, boundaries between subjects have not been important. Their learning was experiential and in many cases the voyage was a life changing experience".
