3 . Te Papa Tongarewa

Te Papa Tongarewa is the museum of art, science, and the natural history of New Zealand. The name translates to “our container of treasured things and people that spring from mother earth here in New Zealand”.

Te Papa is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm, except on Christmas Day. Admission is free for everyone, but charges apply to certain exhibitions and events.

·Guided tours

Introducing Te Papa Tour will give you a great opportunity to understand the various views and cultures you will meet throughout New Zealand.

Te Papa@Twilight Tour is an excellent choice to avoid the crowds and discover Te Papa’s highlights as the sun begins to set. You can discuss our diverse natural environment, and the continued growth of Maori culture with a private guide.

Take a journey with Maori Experience Kinaki Tour, to discover how first peoples of the land have formed unique foods provided by the natural world. The tour will conclude with a shared kai, traditionally-inspired food tasting.

·Plan an education visit

If you are an educator, choose from our range of education programmes. Each can be adapted to your needs. Both in-person and virtual visits are accessible.

We recommend booking at least two weeks ahead of time.

During the visit, we require you to bring adults to supervise (管理) students closely as you are responsible for their safety.

Food and drinks(except bottled water)are not allowed in exhibition areas. Schools are welcome to eat lunch in the outdoor courtyard. You may also choose to buy lunches from our café and are welcome to use cafe space to eat.

5 . The Common Young Writers Program (TCYWP) welcomes high school students passionate about creative writing to join our virtual classes for two inspiring weeks dedicated to fiction writing. Students will learn and experiment with the key building blocks of fiction and be guided through the process of writing and revising their own short stories. At the end of the program, students will emerge more confident in their skills and more connected to a supportive writing community.

Taught by the editors and editorial assistants of Amherst College’s literary magazine, the summer course run Monday-Friday and are open to all high school students.

Our fiction class guides students through the process of writing a short story. No previous writing experience is necessary. Through daily writing assignments and class meetings, students will learn about the key building blocks of fiction and will each complete their own short story by the end of the course. In addition to submitting daily assignments, students will meet as a group with our instructors online. Students will also meet individually with an instructor to discuss their own short stories, and will not only receive written feedback on their first drafts and final stories, but on all daily assignments.

Students should expect to spend around 3-4 hours each day on their assignments, including meeting times. Class size will be small, and we’ll break into small groups for discussions during each session.

The cost of the TCYWP two-week program is $725. We hope that no student will let financial difficulty prevent them from applying. Tuition waivers (学费减免) will be awarded to students with strong applications who cannot attend the program without financial assistance. In the application, students will have the opportunity to briefly describe their financial circumstances and state the amount they could afford to pay, if any, if accepted into the program. No documentation is required. Contact us at info@thecommononline.com, if there is any question.

10 . Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.

1. G-GPS

G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.

If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.

2. P-Finder

Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that?”

If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finde might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.

Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.

You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.

3. N-Land

N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).

By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added.

You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help.
