Be a Change-Maker

En este taller de inmersión, le presentaremos la salud de los arrecifes, la ciencia ciudadana y lo que podemos hacer para ayudar a que los arrecifes se mantengan saludables y hermosos para las generaciones venideras.

Además de mucha diversión, esta es una oportunidad de aprendizaje única, donde tendrás la oportunidad de conectarte con personas de ideas afines, compartir ideas y disfrutar del arrecife y todas sus maravillas.

Parte de convertirse en un Guerrero de Reef Connect es el compromiso de compartir mensajes sobre la salud de los arrecifes con la comunidad en general a través de su trabajo, pasiones o actividades extracurriculares. Para ello, se le pedirá que elabore un proyecto para crear impacto en sus redes.
