What will the expedition offer the supporters of the expedition?

The exact modalities and strategies relating to the marketing and sharing of content is still to be finalised and will be open to discussion with all relevant stakeholders. 

=> Please note that the options list below is provisional.

Marketing: Base Strategy 

  • Sharing stories and experiences from the expedition
    • Live streaming.
    • Video and photo content.
    • Talks at schools, institutions and organisations along the expedition route.
