Home to one of the busiest border crossings in the world, San Diego serves as an international hub in an ever globalizing world. The development of locally focused values together with a sense of global awareness is crucial to creating a conservation ethic in today’s youth. Ocean Connectors crosses borders and cultural boundaries to create links and a shared sense of stewardship between students in San Diego and Mexico. |
Ocean Connectors focuses on predominately low-income and bilingual schools in San Diego and Mexico, where many students lack the opportunity to visit the nearby coast, let alone participate in field trips, dynamic presentations and classroom activities. Ocean Connectors fills an important gap at a crucial point in students’ lives, when they are developing values and becoming more aware of the world around them. This unique, interdisciplinary program incorporates science, bilingual capacity, internet use, reading, writing, art and culture in a practical, ‘real life' conservation effort.
