2.5 –
Educational Eco-tour (for Cebu
school students)
Objectives
The objectives of the
educational eco-tours are to bring to students of pre-elementary school
through high school the opportunity to discover a direct experience of
the interdependence of life and to develop an environmental
consciousness – specifically the protection and preservation of the
environment.
The students are prepared
for this activity at school. They watch films and study photos of
migratory birds found in the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary. They
will hear all about the abundance of the sea and it helps everyone to
live.
During their visit of Olango
Island, they will be able to observe first-hand the variety of
migratory birds. They will visit the Coconut Village to learn about the
different means of survival of the people in the Island. There they
will also interact with fishermen to learn about local fishing
techniques.
And they will have the
opportunity of making shell necklaces and bracelets.
During the sea crossing,
from Mactan to Olango Island (a short 15-minute boat trip), all
security measures are taken such as an escort by a Maritime and Ports
Authority of Lapu Lapu City representative.
Our goal for this activity
is making connections between what we do as individuals, families,
communities, and nations – and the impact on the Earth.
At the end, it will be a day
of fun and lots of discoveries and learning.
The proposed activities
start with an awakening to Ecology in general and develop specifically
critical judgment about eco-tourism.
Organization
Before each educational
eco-tour to Olango Island, it is recommended that the students get some
sensitivity trainings at school.
Our Partners
Our main partner for this
activity is the Abraham’s Children Montessori School in Cebu city.
