What does ivory actually feel like? Can humans perceive the secret language of elephants? And what does the extinction of elephants and the hunting of ivory have to do with me? Answers to these and many other questions are provided by the diverse educational and outreach programme, which is aimed at visitors with varying interests and needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The public and bookable tours in various languages set the theme of Elephant \u2013 Human \u2013 Ivory<\/em> in an ethical, global and post-colonial context and provide access for all ages\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span> the topic and its related issues. Public tours take place five times a week, we offer a multisensory tour focussing on the material itself, and groups can get an overview in our one-hour tours. Workshops are available for school groups to address the topic more intensively.<\/p>\n

One of the programme\u2019s main focus is on ivory as a material and its particular properties, with the multisensory tour.<\/span>\u00a0A workshop entitled\u00a0Be Strong for the Elephants!<\/em>\u00a0focuses on the conflict between elephants and humans, as well as the question of how consumers can use their awareness and their consumption and travel habits to help defuse this conflict.<\/p>\n

The exhibition layout has a guidance and orientation system designed\u00a0for people\u00a0with visual empairment<\/span>. Integrated\u00a0sensory stations enable visitors to experience the tactile nature of ivory by presenting selected objects to touch. Visitors\u00a0will also have the opportunity to feel the differences in texture of the ears, back and tusks of different elephant species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
