Resources/ Programs

Occasional interaction between schools and Stations; Educational visits to a number of schools every year through direct invitation or as part of annual celebrations (Midwinter, World Environment Day, National Marine Week etc.); Hosting of school guided tours of the SANAP vessel, SA Agulhas II during annual open day and throughout the year.

As part of a SANAP-funded project whichdeploys bio-optics profiling floats into theSouthern Ocean the floats form part of the"Adopt a Float" programme whereby aschool/class adopts an oceanographicprofiling float and follows its scientific voyageover the year/s deployment. The trajectory ofthe float brings the students into an oceaniczone (in our case the Southern Ocean) and,in real-time, allows them to participate in theobservations collected by the floats as wellas to the sciences that are associated withthem.

One of the objectives of this

project is to favour collaboration

between the scientific and

educational worlds in order to

elaborate a teaching method for

raising consciousness of school

children to the marine

environment.

Online educational resources The Antarctic Legacy of South Africa (ALSA) is a three-year (2015-2017) SANAP funded project. ALSA's primary role is to gather and archive electronically historical information relating to South Africa's involvement over the years in the Antarctic region, including the continent, sub-Antarctic Islands (primarily the Prince Edwards and Gough, but also Bouvet) and at sea in the Southern Ocean.The project's archival database is hosted by the J.S. Gericke Library at Stellenbosch University.Creating awareness within South Africa of the nation's activities and its history on involvement "down South", especially among the youth, will form a significant part of ALSA's work over the next three years. Activities will be primarily addressed at the tertiary level of education, commencing this year with attending and contributing to university open days.

Material collected and archived include

photographs, videos, oral interviews

along with their transcripts, newspaper

clippings, articles from popular

magazines, bibliographies of scientific

literature, PDFs of scanned articles in

scientific journals not available

electronically, governmental and other

papers obtained from departmental,

national and Antarctic archives in South

Africa, Australia, UK and the USA,

unpublished diaries, artwork and maps

and other published and unpublished

materials gleaned from governmental

departments, libraries and museums

within and outside of South Africa.

A dedicated website for the project that

will allow public access to its archived

material is currently under development

and is expected to go live in the near

future
