FEBRUARY 2026 AT A GLANCE
ABL Programme
Station Assessments in Practice
We kicked off the month with our Station Assessment evaluations, where our new ABLers guided us through each stations and put their training into practice.
ABL Programme
Level 1 First Aid Training
All new ABLers completed a Level 1 First Aid course over two days. Day 1 focused on theory, while day two focused on practical training. They learnt CPR and how to respond to emergencies; skills that are especially valuable for the workshops we run with children.
ABL Programme
Assistant Facilitator Module
The ABLers also began a new module in their Adventure-Based Learning NQF Level 4 course. This was the Assistant Facilitator module, where they explored the basics of being an assistant facilitator and practiced applying these skills in workshops. The module ran for two weeks and wrapped up last week.
ABL Programme
Team Building and Shared Learning
Along with the ABL trainees, the I AM WATER team enjoyed a team-building session in the Cape Town Gardens. We were treated to a guided tour and history lesson, followed by a visit to the Iziko Museum.
OCEAN FOR ALL Alliance
OFAA in Action
Over the past month, OCEAN FOR ALL Alliance members continued delivering Ocean Connection Workshops across coastal communities in Ecuador and the Galapagos.
Over the past month, OCEAN FOR ALL Alliance members continued delivering Oceanic Connection Workshops across coastal communities in Ecuador and the Galápagos.
From Montañita to Santa Elena province, where 16 teenagers participated in the first Oceanic Connection Workshop of 2026 at Remacopse, young people engaged directly with their local marine environments. In Isabela, learning unfolded through song, creativity, and shoreline exploration, with participants strengthening language, observation, and environmental awareness through immersive, place-based activities.
Across the Alliance, workshops remain grounded in experiential learning , nurturing confidence, curiosity, and connection to coastal ecosystems.
It’s really heartening to see the progress being made with the Ocean Guardians workshops, especially how they’ve managed to reach over 500 learners in such a short window. I was particularly struck by the mention of the "Take 3 for the Sea" initiative; it’s a simple but powerful reminder of how small, individual actions can ripple into a much larger environmental impact. Honestly, reading about these kids getting into the water for the first time reminds me of how much research I did on marine biology back in university. Even when I was swamped and looking for things like new assignment help in Australia to manage my workload, I always found time to read about conservation. It makes me wonder…
