UPCOMING PROJECTS AND PARTNERSHIPS
uPCOMING PROJECTS and Partnerships
We are always looking to give the students, families and educators from our community opportunities to engage in new educational experiences that uplift them and the community as a whole. The following are projects that are currently in the pipeline for Educational Visions Organization.
Marine sciences, environmental justice, and blue economy
We are partnering with the Anthropocene Alliance, EEECHO, and Gulfport Schools to work with students from disadvantaged communities, as defined by the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, to expose them to new educational opportunities in marine sciences, new career opportunities in the Blue economy, and a greater awareness of environmental justice issues in their community. Students will learn marine sciences and ecology via the study of the Gulf Sturgeon and field experiences with marine biologists. We plan to host a Blue Economy Career Fair to expose students to the multitude of jobs that exist in this area. We also plan to plant seeds of environmental justice as we compare and contrast the plight of the Gulf Sturgeon with the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool data for our own neighborhoods as students develop an action plan.
