Traveller's Tales Tuvalu Lecture Hour

Ref: C2344602

This Traveller’s Tale starts with an intriguing advert for 'youth development work’ in the South Pacific, specifically the tiny island nation of Tuvalu, the fourth smallest country in the world. This session delves into the presenter's experiences of living and working in this unique part of the world. You will learn where Tuvalu is located, why it's main source of income is reliant on the internet, why it may not exist as a country in 50 years, and what it's like living in the perpetual enigma of a tropical island without any fruit or vegetables! You’ll also have the chance to tell traveller’s tales of your own.
