“I really enjoyed this training and got to meet colleagues from other areas. The information shared has boosted my confidence to engage learners about the ocean, and I can’t wait to deliver these sessions to my pupils,” said Olwethu Mdunge from Nqutshini.

Last week, the uThukela Ocean and Awareness Team (O&A)hosted a four-day ocean literacy training centered on the children’s books Harry the Hammerhead Shark: Volume 1 – Shares the Good News and Volume 2 – Swims Down South.
