What are people saying about us?
“Under the 1Ocean initiative, we learned about ocean resources, the challenges oceans face, and how to help heal them. The platform provided useful materials about the ocean to integrate effectively with our lessons. I teach Class 5, where water and ocean topics are part of every term. These resources help make students more aware of oceans, climate change, and pollution, supporting overall learning outcomes”.

“I gained deeper understanding about ocean issues and how to involve children in conservation. The focus on teacher training is impactful, as it directly reaches students”.
