Equinox Share-a-thon Revisited

Revisit the 2021 Equinox Polar Share-a-thon

PEI ran a 24-hour Share-a-thon on 22-23 September 2021. This was also presented at the PreCop in Milan that year as part of the #All4Climate initiative.​

We celebrated our polar network with 24 hours of talks and videos from scientists, indigenous people, and educators. Topics included: science, art, teaching, classroom activities, community science, and informal education. We have compiled it into a wonderful playlist of every time slot of around hour each. You can also view the list of topics and presenters further below. Watch these wonderful conversations and talks if you haven’t already! Of course, if you want to relive the whole share-a-thon experience again, the streaming links are towards at the end of this page.
