Objectives for Educators
Ready to make a difference?
These objectives outline the core role and responsibilities of SOI Educators, focusing on creating a transformative, cross-cultural, and hands-on learning environment that empowers youth to become informed advocates and active stewards of the Arctic and its marine ecosystems. When designing your workshops, be sure to keep these objectives top of mind.
Educational Facilitation
Guide participants through an immersive learning experience that explores the social, cultural, and natural history. Help youth understand the interconnectedness of marine protection, coastal ecosystems, wildlife, and human activity through hands-on learning and discussion.
Leadership
Support the development of leadership skills, critical thinking, and global citizenship among participants. Encourage youth to engage deeply with conservation and sustainability topics, empowering them to become advocates for the Arctic and its communities.
Cultural Exchange & Knowledge Sharing
Foster meaningful cross-cultural exchanges between youth, Elders, scientists, and experts. Facilitate dialogue that promotes mutual learning, respect for Traditional Knowledge, and an appreciation for diverse perspectives on stewardship.
Environmental & Ocean Stewardship
Inspire participants to become active stewards of the environment by integrating experiential learning, citizen science initiatives, and hands-on exploration. Help youth connect their experiences to broader marine conservation efforts and sustainability goals.
Transformative Learning
Provide guidance and support as youth navigate life-changing educational experiences. Help them contextualize their learning within the broader challenges and opportunities, ensuring they leave with a greater understanding of the region’s importance and their role in its future.
