Education

Ocean3C offers collaborative programs to share expertise and inspire students to become game changers in the fight against the decline of ocean’s health. The education component of marine protection is by nature a multidisciplinary subject that has yet to be incorporated into the current educational sector more holistically.

In view of the the existing gap that can be filled to enhance ocean literacy in HK school communities, we provide comprehensive, science-based pedagogic programs that are designed for students and teachers respectively

Ocean3C-EDU offers 5 programs that nurture collaborative spirits, promote responsible citizenship, empower students to take actions, and help teachers with capacity building through a “train-the-trainers” approach.

We are happy to help you select the suitable program(s). Please do not hesitate to contact us at education@ocean3c.org

 
 
 

ECF Blue Ambassador Programme: Promoting Ocean Literacy in HK School Communities

Thanks to the funding by the Environment and Conservation Fund and the Environmental Campaign Committee, Ocean3C is able to offer this program that enables an increasing number of schools to teach the fundamentals of marine protection.

Taking a “train-the-trainer” approach, this program helps teachers gain the confidence and support they need to incorporate marine protection in their teaching by providing:
- Teacher-training workshop (2.5 hour)
- E-booklet written by expert contributors from Hong Kong and overseas
- Opportunities to arrange in-school seminars conducted by the authors of the E-booklet.
- Guidance by Ocean3C staff and access to a supportive network and resourceful platform

Booklet

ECF Blue ambassador programme: Promoting Ocean literacy in HK school communities

You can’t protect what you don’t know… or don’t understand!

This maxim fits well when addressing Ocean sustainability topic.

The current Ocean3C-Education program has been designed to support educators to confidently and successfully address topics on Ocean Science and sustainability.

Thanks to Hong Kong government funding (e.g., Environmental Conservation Fund), the program offers full guidance to schools in a well-rounded structure with complementary objectives:
a – thanks to an educational curriculum, equip educators with essential principles and fundamentals concepts ruling the Ocean,
b – through the hosting of train-the-trainers workshops, create a supportive network and resourceful platform to promote holistic thinking in school settings,
c – allow schools and their communities to be Ocean literate and make informed and responsible decisions regarding the Ocean and its resources.
