New Zealand – Queenstown Culture

Up to 100 participants via Zoom Webinar or one full class via standard video conferencing call.

Summary: 

Take an adventure into beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand! Situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, this small city is known for its stunning landscapes and active lifestyle. Students will complete a map-based critical thinking activity while discovering the history and culture of Queenstown and learning about  what makes this city’s culture unique. Hot spots include a historic boat museum, a view inside the lake with the world’s longest and oldest eel, a quirky ice cream shop, and a glimpse into the adventure sports capital of the world! Connect to a culture similar to but so very unlike our own.
