Welcome to EarthDiverse!

EarthDiverse™ is a not-for-profit social enterprise offering a wide range of Diversity Education courses in both the social and natural sciences. We provide programmes designed to increase our understanding of the world in which we live. Through increased knowledge and understanding, we hope to mitigate racism, discrimination and environmental degradation through courses, seminars, activities and events that aspire to strengthen social cohesion. Though we cater to our little patch of Planet 3 here in Aotearoa New Zealand, our courses are open, affordable and accessible to anyone, anywhere and we welcome learners from around the globe.

We currently offer over 200 different courses on a rotating basis, with new courses introduced each Term. Four times per year (following New Zealand’s School term system) we offer about 40 different courses in the broad categories of Language, Culture and Nature. We’ll continue to work hard to deliver new and interesting courses that help enrich our minds and raise our spirits!
