MISSION OVERVIEW

(Running Time 90 minutes)

The island of Montserrat in the Caribbean is currently the most dangerous place on Earth. There is a hurricane reported on course to hit the island and the volcano on the island is threatening to erupt. Students will need to form an emergency response team to help monitor the volcano and hurricane and to evacuate the residents away from the danger zones.

Free e-Mission teacher training sessions for Operation Montserrat are available. These are an excellent opportunity for a group of teachers (minimum 10) - most of whom should be from different schools - to sample an e-Mission Operation Montserrat first hand and to see what it would be like in the classroom. These training sessions can be arranged in your school for either a morning or an afternoon (about 3 hours). For further information please call our bookings team.
