The World Within Reach Hub

About the Program

The World Within Reach Hub opens doors to cultural, scientific, and natural experiences for children who may not otherwise have access.
Through virtual tours and live experiences from museums, zoos, science centres, and cultural landmarks, children can explore the world from wherever they are.

Designed for schools, libraries, and community organisations, the platform removes geographic and financial barriers and helps spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning in children from rural, remote, and underserved communities.
