To keep this educational adventure going, your help is greatly needed! A specific material would help the workshops become more authentic and adapted to toddlers and very young ages. It will also help paying for all the media content created (posters, brandbook) and building the advanced workshops to keep on reaching interested kids.

We are looking to acquire:
- A real size inflatable dolphin to replace the « swimming pool/with handles dolphin/already full of holes» that we have been using on our standing response activity. The real size commun dolphin will be created by Andy Peters, ocean lover and educator who produces real size marine mammals with a 10 years guaranteed material (http://www.whaleworkshop.org/)

- Real size 2D fabric marine mammals from the creative and authentic Ursula Tscherter, who is a whale researcher and environmental educator who I have met at the Marine Mammal’s conference in Barcelona last year. Those real size Humpback whale, Orca, Shark and Green Turtle will give a real different experience to the kids and adults (https://www.1zu1mittier.ch/1-1-animals/) Ursula created a specific Orca called Pingu from the Straits of Gilbratar, he has a very unique dorsal fin which will allow to work with the kids on photo-identification. The experience of having a real size marine animal helps kids to connect with the marine environment by looking at the food chain and the size of preys, touching, playing, hiding under those fabric creatures, which also facilitates the work with younger kids. Ursula kindly sent us the Orca so we can ue it during the summer, but we still have to refund her work :)
