Climate and ocean changes have become a major global driving force in past decades, putting more than 56 million inhabitants in West Africa at risk and threatening 56% of the GDP of all coastal countries from Mauritania to Benin. Located in the Atlantic side of Africa, Cabo Verde archipelago is particularly exposed to climate change impacts affecting communities’ environment, health, and incomes.
In partnership with the Universidade Técnica do Atlântico (UTA) in Mindelo, the PADI Foundation and the Schlumberger Foundation, Ocean4Kids Cabo Verde stimulates 60 children (6-12 years old, at least 50% of girls) from public schools and the fishing community (Aldeia SOS Mindelo, Escola de São Pedro, Myrtle Atividades Educativas) and provides an introduction to Ocean sciences and Technologies using a Montessori approach. While nurturing curiosity, creativity, environmental awareness, and early engagement in STEM, the programme empowers children to understand /value their local environment to address ocean-related challenges in Cabo Verde.
Ocean4Kids Cabo Verde is endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development, and directly contributes to the:
- 2063 African Union Agenda Goals
- Ocean Decade challenges: 6 (Increase community resilience to ocean hazards), 9 (Skills, Knowledge and Technology for all), 10 (Change Humanity’s relationship with the Ocean)
- United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), 9 (Innovation), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life below water), and 17 (Partnerships for goals).
