I am highly interested in participating in the Blue School Capacity-Building Training as it aligns closely with my professional experience in environmental education, community engagement, and marine ecosystem conservation in the Caribbean region. Through my work with students, volunteers, and local communities, I have contributed to strengthening ocean awareness, climate change education, and stewardship of coastal and marine ecosystems.

This course represents a valuable opportunity to enhance my technical and pedagogical skills in Ocean Literacy and to contribute to the development of locally relevant Blue School initiatives adapted to Caribbean realities. I am particularly interested in integrating scientific knowledge with local and traditional knowledge, supporting inclusive education, and strengthening regional collaboration to promote long-term sustainability and community resilience.
