Turtle conservation, research dives, beach cleans and sustainability workshops
Flooglebinder, a certified B Corp student travel company is making waves in conservation education by curating educational programs that create change for people and the planet.
The company’s founders ‘Ian and Brad’ are big believers in experiential learning and there’s no way better to do that than through an adventure. Their educational programmes for students offer experiences that complement their studies, whilst focusing on conservation, sustainability, personal development and mental health. Aligned with the UN’s sustainable development goals, activities are fun, inspiring and educational and above all rooted in conservation and sustainability. Their passion for the ocean and everything within it was the driving force behind their marine focused trips, which have been receiving outstanding reviews from participants for many years.
Their Thailand marine conservation trip offers school, college and university students a chance to obtain their open water and advanced Scuba certification whilst learning about local marine habitats and conservation methods. This novel approach to a more practical method of teaching inspires the next generation to make informed choices when it comes to sustainability and preserving our natural world.
A trip to Greece could see students contributing to scientific research on sea turtle population and distribution, learning about the threats to these incredible marine reptiles and getting hands on digging up turtle eggs and cleaning up the beaches of Kefalonia.
This climate positive company ensures they only work with people and organisations that positively impact the communities and ecosystems they visit. An approved activity provider for such recognised programs as the Duke of Edinburgh Gold residentials, ensures all programs are not only fun and challenging but valuable to each individual. A trip to Costa Rica will see students learning about biodiversity monitoring, using indicator species in the Osa Peninsula and waking up early to participate in night patrols to protect endangered sea turtles.
During a trip to the Azores, students will gain a deeper understanding of marine conservation whilst observing whales and dolphins and taking part in biodiversity workshops. Whilst in Croatia, kayaking, snorkelling and sailing will ensure students connect with the natural world whilst enjoying all it has to offer.
By using real life experiences and adventures to teach subjects such as conservation and sustainability we can ensure the next generation stays engaged with these key subjects and are more likely to care, respect and protect our environment.
