It is a pre-requisite that all Global
Geoparks develop and operate educational programmes at a range of levels to
spread awareness of our geological heritage and its links to other aspects of
our natural, cultural and intangible heritages. Many Global Geopark offer
formal educatinal programmes for schools or offer special activities for
children though “Kids Clubs” or special “Fossil Fun Days”. Many Global Geoparks
also offer education, both formal and informal, for adults and retired people
while many provide training for local people who can then, in turn, teach
others.
