Investing in education is investing in the future.
MARINE EDUCATION FOR KIDS
Educating children is at the heart of BLOOM’s mission. As the future agents of change, children need to understand ecosystems in order to be able to protect them. Education is an essential long-term investment.
BLOOM is currently developing an animated film that will act as a platform for marine conservation. More coming soon!
MARINE EDUCATION FOR ADULTS
A pamphlet-style book about the oceans (to be published in September 2009) BLOOM’s marine education projects aren’t just aimed at kids. Claire Nouvian’s book will chart the unprecedented ecological crisis that the oceans face, exposing the perverted mechanisms at work in man’s turbulent relationship with the ocean. This pamphlet-style book will offer an agenda for action so that everyone can follow the steps that will lead to a sea change.
An exhibition guide for adults, written in collaboration with Peter Batson, will be available at the exhibition locations in Taiwan in 2009. The Chinese translation is on its way!
TRAINING ELITES
The objective of this program is to ensure that future leaders have been comprehensively informed of the reality of the world’s environment so that they have knowledge about complex environmental issues, which can in no way be managed with a simplistic understanding of patterns. The program is currently being developed, and will be implemented in 2011.
