World Oceans Day

What is this project about?

Objective: The goal of the World Ocean Day event by The Change Makers at Class2Class.org is to teach people about the importance of saving our oceans and to share ways to protect them. Expected Outcomes of the World Ocean Day Event Participants will learn about ocean problems like pollution and overfishing and share their ideas for solutions. They will discover simple actions to help, such as using less plastic and cleaning up beaches, while connecting with others who care about the oceans. Students will also gain confidence in speaking and advocating for the environment, and teachers and students will network with fellow ocean conservation enthusiasts. Presentation Opportunity: Two students from each school can give a 3-minute presentation based on the following questions: Why is it important to protect marine life and oceans? What are some actions people can take to help conserve marine environments?

Felt like taking deep dive into the ocean and what a coincidence almost all ocean connected countries participated. The deeper we know , higher will be our efforts to understand and act.

We, teachers and students around the globe, celebrated The World Oceans Day hosted by The Change Makers @ www.class2class.org. Let me highlight the key points from each school. Kudos to all students who presented so confidently and to teachers who encouraged them! Tr Sharon WANG , Taiwan: Protecting the ocean is everyone's duty. By reducing plastic use, participating in cleanups, and supporting marine conservation, we can preserve the ocean for future generations. Tr Vathsala Nayer Vaths Malaysia: The ocean regulates the climate, provides food, and offers jobs. It also helps us breathe by absorbing carbon dioxide. Tr Zainab Gambo Nigeria: Oceans are home to a vast diversity of plants (flora) and animals (fauna) that need protection to maintain the balance of ecosystems. Tr Emi Mubarok Indonesia: Students Participated. Tr Dung Nguyen Vietnam: Reduce plastic use, keep the environment clean, limit toxic chemical usage, and participate in environmental education programs to raise awareness. Tr Bright Garden English Centre , Myanmar: Reduce pollution, promote sustainable fishing practices, conserve coral reefs, and raise awareness about marine conservation. Engage in clean-up efforts and support environmental education programs. Tr Zinzinthin Myanmar: Why is the Ocean Salty?: Salt in the ocean comes from runoff from land and openings in the sea floor. Rainwater that falls on land is highly acidic, contributing to the saltiness of ocean water. Why is Ocean Water Blue?: Ocean water appears blue because it absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum, leaving behind the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. Sediments and particles in the water can also influence its color. Tr Hanumant Deshmukh Sir, India: He practically showed the way of raising up from bed and keeping our legs on the floor, connecting it with the ocean through our traditional way with slokas. His student innovatively presented the acronym for remembering names AAPIA, ARATPAINAN..5 OCEAN NAMES. His student also gave information about the alarming drop in the population of Alaskan snow crabs in the Bering Sea, from approximately 11 billion to less than 2 billion. Tr @Pratima Deshmukh, India: She innovatively taught English idioms and phrases related to aquatic life: She taught the use of idioms and phrases in the English language related to the ocean, water, and aquatic life. A biology teacher, Tr Anagha from her school, joined and presented her thoughts, which was amazing. Tr @Muhammed ADNAN Jamil Pakistan: Karachi is also known as the Turtle Center. He connected mathematics with the shape of sea animals, which was very interesting. Tr Anastasia Amvrosiadou Greece: She presented NASA videos and discussed the importance of commitment to marine conservation, calling for international cooperation in addressing environmental challenges. Tr Delia Sofronea Romania: Discussed the ecological significance of Sea coast and the need for sustainable practices to protect marine habitats. Tr Immanuel K Owusu Ghana: Students discussed Ghana's initiatives in marine conservation and sustainable fishing practices to ensure the well-being of coastal communities. Tr Elizabeth joined from Ghana and encouraged students. Tr Gurjot Varinder Singh mam India: Students highlighted India's efforts in promoting tree planting and environmental conservation to mitigate climate change impacts which affects oceans. Students gave their perspectives in a practical way like instead of using every room AC, they can all accommodate in a single place. Tr @Sita Ram Mahat Nepal: Sir expressed concern about the misuse of oceans, leading to environmental degradation and disturbance in marine ecosystems. Dr. Sangeeta Mukherjee India: Students highlighted the importance of oceans. The world's oxygen we breathe and captures and estimates 40% of all the carbon dioxide produced, which is four times more than the Amazon rainforest. It also acts as a source of food about 20% of the animal protein we eat comes from the ocean. Ocean gives edible plants like seaweeds. Tr Nikita India: Students presented important information, an average of 156 plastic bottles from filling our oceans annually every year 15 million tons of plastic enter the sea at a minimum which kills around 1.1 billion marine animals each year. Tr Ritik Ranjeet Karwasra , India: Sir shared insights from writing an article for a Nepalese magazine, highlighting shocking statistics about plastic bag usage and ocean pollution. Tr Elizabeth Uscamayta Peru: Students Participated. All Teachers and Students contributed diverse perspectives and shared personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of individual actions in mitigating ocean threats. Thank you everyone.
