Youth Education Programmes
Learning Through Action
Education does not stop in the classroom
We take students beyond theory and into the environment itself, organising beach clean ups where learning becomes action. One of our most powerful activities involves " sieving for microplastics",where students discover first ineihand what pollution looks like in our sand and shorel
We started our education programme in both Spanish and International schools, colleges and the University of Las Palmas. We have reached over 100 schools across the island raising awareness to thousands of children and inspiring them to be an Eco Heroes.
As part of our school educational programme we have taught children about the importance of healthy oceans and how plastic pollution negatively affects the creatures that depend upon it, including us.
Our lesson plan is designed to encourage students to think about ways that they can change their behaviour to reduce their use of plastics and teach how to dispose of plastic properly to prevent it from entering our oceans by recycling and not littering.
Our education sessions range from 1-hour classroom lessons, to 2 day workshop on plastics with 1 day giving a talk followed by an arts and craft session and the other doing a beach clean. Not only this, but given the diversity of our Education Team we are able to run our education sessions in English, German or Spanish!
