free education
Our concept
for children,
teenagers & adults
Everyone should have free access to knowledge and education. SHARKPROJECT pursues this concept to raise awareness among children, teenages and adults for the protection of sharks. Children are the future and can achieve great things through their actions and exchanges with adults.
Children's and Youth Programms
With our interactive educational programs, we help even the youngest children to understand the importance of sharks and their impacts on the marine ecosystem.
1. Kindergarten & Elementary School
Program Structure
Readings take place for kindergarten children and primary school pupils under the motto “What you always wanted to know about sharks”.
Parts from the short stories “Michel, the Little White Shark” are provided with lectures and films.
The children can also get creative with various craft materials.
Duration
Can be individually adapted. For example, a lecture from one of the books lasts approx. 30 minutes.
2. Secondary Levels I and II
Program Design
The modular and age-appropriate presentations for students at secondary levels I and II are enhanced with exciting films and interesting facts. The modular units include topics such as the marine ecosystem and the food chain, shark biology or its endangerment.
The presentations encourage students to reflect on their own behavior and to work out together how people can behave more sustainably.
Duration
The modules are adapted to the duration of the school lessons and are planned individually by the speakers according to the respective requirements. At least one double lesson is recommended.
Help us and teach others become a speaker
We need active support from volunteers who enjoy carrying out lectures and sharing knowledge.
Support us as a speaker to ensure the continued education of children, young people and adults.
Adult Programs
SHARKPROJECT offers various options to adults about species and marine conservation. We are happy to advise on the possibilities and way to implement them.
Extensive information and illustrative material as well as exhibits support the presentations and information stands at trade fairs, museums or public events.
