Monthly Round-Up

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

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.
