Ocean Senses and Chiquitano Cooperation

Description: This captivating video showcases the collaborative efforts of two projects, Akma 2 Ocean Senses and ECO_CARE, led by Giuliana Panieri and Margherita Paola Poto, respectively. The video documents their work on ocean literacy in partnership with the Chiquitano villages of Mato Grosso, skillfully coordinated by Giulia Parola. Immersed in the learning toolkit of Ocean Senses, children and teachers actively engage with the fascinating world of foraminifera, while drawing insightful comparisons between rivers and seas. Their interactions lead to the development of remarkable project results, illustrating the transformative power of ocean literacy. Funded by UiT The Arctic University of Norway (Faculty of Law, Strategiske Midler Poto 2022), the FNR (Akma), and HKDIR (ECO_CARE), this remarkable research collaboration exemplifies the significance of empowering communities through knowledge and fostering a deeper connection with the ocean. Join us on this inspiring journey of ocean discovery and the impactful work that bridges cultures and nurtures ecological awareness."
