Homes Around the World

This session looks how people build and live in some unusual homes around the world - from arctic to equator.  

​

We look at the materials available and how people have adapted to cope with extreme seasons - with a comparison to our own environment.

​

This session is supported by photos and video clips from time spent with the Sami people in the arctic and a Maasai family in Africa and shows how people can use the most basic of natural materials like reindeer and goat skins. 

​

There are several artefacts for children to handle from both cultures.
