Tierra de Exploradores is
a non-profit civil Association seeking to enhance
the preservation and spreading of the Argentine cultural
and natural heritage and generate the transfer
of knowledge from the particular vision of scientists,
artists and explorers.
Initially known as “Explora-Argentina”,
Tierra de Exploradores is
an entity created in 2000 by journalist Verónica
Willenberg, founder and president. As from July
2006, its activities formally began, forging a strong
link with the main Museums, Galleries, Exhibition Centers
worldwide, with the purpose of adding the Itinerant
Exhibitions and Dissemination Cycles organized by the
Association.
Scientists and Explorers that embody the Argentine
culture participate in this endeavor, with
the goal of strengthening the process of spreading and
developing their productions and findings.
Among its goals, Tierra de Exploradores
works in order to raise awareness in society regarding
the transcendence of research and exploration as a means
to positively change the reality of a community.

Tierra de Exploradores’
aim is to promote and spread the Argentine cultural
production and the scientific breakthroughs, both in
the local and international framework.
Those of us who are part of Tierra de Exploradores
believe in the need to democratize scientific dissemination.
We intend to bring science and culture production closer
to society as a whole, making it massive, appealing,
returning it to the community, to whom it is owed.

Tierra de Exploradores
develops its activities through
• the holding of conferences and cycles of dissemination
• the development and presentation of theme exhibitions
• the production and spreading of graphic and
audiovisual material
• the management of press campaigns
• the monitoring and follow up of media
Through its activities, the Association
aims to deepen Argentina’s entry in the international
framework, from the perspective of its scientific productions
and its natural and cultural heritage.
To that end, the entity has innovative and appealing
proposals conforming Itinerant Theme Exhibitions,
to be shown in the major scientific and cultural dissemination
centers.

Tierra de Exploradores works in order to promote
–for the first time in our country- the philanthropic
culture destined to the development of Science and Exploration
in Argentina.
Well aware of the need to work for the Common
Good, there are some actions in the annual
Agenda of Tierra de Exploradores destined to
bring avant garde scientific and cultural productions
together, jointly with resources generated through their
spreading, to the most sensitive environments in community:
border schools, populations detached from big cities,
developing communities, etc.
In those spaces, the Association expects to
provide elements for study, raise awareness about the
preservation of the cultural and natural heritage, generate
transfer of knowledge as from the particular visions
of scientists and explorers; and thus convey the challenge
entailed by field research.
