ORCA develops Educational Programs for almost two decades. The basis for educational programs were cemented by conducting pedagogical research comparative in which the target groups to be educated were evaluated in a experience and thus implement the pedagogical strategy that best suits the psyche of the student, taking culture, family baggage, and its proximity to the sea as regards.
ORCA Educational Programs have been designed by educators, psychologists and a multidisciplinary team of professionals to be approached as experiential workshops and thematic talks aimed at children, youth and adults to whom they will be provided with relevant information about the oceans; the characteristics specials of marine mammals, penguins and sea turtles; the problem current facing marine life; and the solutions of which we are all part. Each Program includes a campaign that promotes the receipt of donations for the marine patients that ORCA cares for, thus generating a bond of compassion between the participants and the marine animals we rescue, thus sustaining our Animal Welfare Programs and generating change positive in the attitude and actions of the participants for the benefit of their environment.
ORCA develops a successful and continous Educational Programs, carrying out workshops for kindergarten, Elementary and High school in schools both at fishermen towns and within Lima City. Our Programs also include conferences and workshops for students of Universities on biology, veterinary sciences, conservation and research directed to marine mammal sciences and its importance. Also, the contribution of our program reaches technical/educational support to personnel related to health and environment in local City Halls. .

welcome to join us.
Up to date, the ocean is the last frontier for humanity.
However, human activities have a direct impact upon
the marine environment, bringing several species to
extinction. In Peru, the situation is not different, but
additionally, there is a lack of ecological values and
understanding regarding how the ocean nurtures our
existence. We can stop the negative effects with
positive actions, creating a culture of respect for live
and love for nature, because the ocean is important
for our survival and that of all live on Earth. |
