Strategy to promote knowledge and care of marine animals marine animals with Transition children

This paper is the result of a collaboration between the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB) and the educational project ONDAS. We sought to combine music therapy and marine life, taking advantage of children’s interest in exploring this topic. The objective was to promote the knowledge and care of marine fauna through the pedagogical strategy “The Museum of the Sea”, which integrated ICT and art. With a qualitative approach of Participatory Action Research, techniques such as observation, interviews and questionnaires were used. The children, supported by their parents, investigated marine animals, raising awareness about recycling and care for the planet. The project captured their interest and promoted conversations at home. The conclusions highlight the importance of the participation of educators, parents and the community in incorporating environmental issues into the school curriculum, promoting ecological awareness from childhood. https://doi.org/10.21723/riaee.v20iesp.1.2029902
