Ocean Education

Oceanus Conservation and AXA Insurance Philippines conducted a storytelling event for kids about ocean awareness where we garnered 60 pupils from Beata Elementary School!

Through AXA Philippines’ sustainability pillar: climate change and biodiversity, they will donate ocean storybooks to our local partner communities.

Thank you to AXA Philippines and the teachers from Beata Elementary School who helped us introduce these kids to the actions they can take to continue the movement!

We partnered with a community-based turtle conservation organization, @alimanguansagippawikan, who organized a wonderful storytelling event with children and their parents in Alimanguan Daycare Center. Thank you to all the donors who made this happen!

Together with Alimanguan Sagip Pawikan, 15 storybooks of the Ocean Adventures of Cory were donated to the local school in Alimanguan so that they can continue spreading coral reef awareness every year to the children in the daycare center!

Coral reefs are also habitats for sea turtles and many more fish, invertebrates, and substrate species. Let’s keep on spreading awareness for the linkage of habitats and biodiversity! 🌏

We partnered with the wonderful youth club, Blue Warriors, who went beyond our expectations by organizing a storytelling morning with children based in Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental! 💙

Together with Blue Warriors, 27 storybooks of the Ocean Adventures of Cory were donated locally to children living along the coast to help educate and continue spreading coral reef awareness.

Currently, our local youth champion and the current SK President, Julienne, has been making waves to spread this storytelling event!

We partnered with  Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) Malaysia – MYOceanHope, Bohol-Siquijor EcoWave Youth Initiatives, and TAYO Youth Organization in Negros Oriental during World Ocean’s Day! Together, we engaged a total of 120 kids in these events and distributed 51 ocean bilingual storybooks locally and internationally! SOA Malaysia also donated these storybooks to their partner schools.

Davao del Sur, and Ilocos Sur

Thank you to our partner organizations: Advocacy for the Protection of the Environment and Culture (APEC) and the volunteer teachers of Davao del Sur and Project Blue PH of Ilocos Sur for spreading ocean awareness and co-organizing these storytelling events for kids! 🪸

Through these events in celebration of International Literacy Month, we have gathered 66 kids and distributed 66 copies of our ocean bilingual storybook!

The team brought 10 local kids aged 11-12 from the local village in Dapa to learn about mangroves. They have never seen mangroves before nor learned about their importance to the environment. We also tried the new underwater drone, which is an in-kind grant from the Wildlife Conservation Society, to show the kids what is below the surface! They were beyond happy and can’t wait to learn about corals too!

Thank you to Ms. Aritas from the Union Fisherfolk Association for helping us gather the kids!

30 students from St. John Elementary School in Cagayan de Oro City gathered with excitement as student leaders from Xavier University’s Central Student Government Office of the Vice President (XU-CSG OVP) organized a storytelling event and distributed 30 copies of our ocean bilingual storybook! 🪸

Through these stories and activities, the kids have learned about the wonders of the ocean and the importance of protecting it.

Thank you to Frida and the Blue Army for spreading the coral reef adventures in Iceland! After a beach clean-up activity, Frida gave out storybooks to children who were in the clean-up as a reward! She also gave copies of the storybooks in an elementary school for more environmental education about the coral reefs in the Philippines!

The storybook is bilingual in Icelandic and English, thanks to Frida for translating it too!
