Inspiring teachers............Changing lives

Sir Vivian Fuchs showed a generation of school children a sense of curiosity, self reliance, self determination and challenge.

In his memory, the Fuchs Foundation will inspire future generations by sending young teachers to the Polar Regions to do scientific projects in hostile environments.

Science and Geography are perceived as dull subjects and hard work. The Fuchs Foundation challenges this perception and aims to recreate in young people the sense of excitement, adventure and thirst for knowledge.

No one forgets an inspirational teacher and the Fuchs Foundation believes the key is challenge and experience.  Give young teachers the opportunity to break free from the constraints of their normal safe existence and inspire them through expedition work that tests both their mental, physical and emotional resources which will in turn give them a life changing experience and will inspire their teaching for the rest of their career.
