Hawksbill turtles are long-lived, gentle giants of our ocean, surviving on a routine that has scarcely changed for millions of years. However, in the last few decades, their way of life has come under threat as a result of human activities. Rushan Bin Abdul Rahman, a sea turtle ecologist and MAC3 Conservation Scholar at Conservation International Singapore, will share a tale of two ‘Hawkies’, reveal more about their extraordinary lives and discuss how you can help to ensure that sea turtles can continue swimming into the future.

Humans are not ocean dwellers, but we are intrigued by its vast, complex ecology, and its effects on us, even in the most simple way. The dense smell and taste of sea breezes, feel of sand underfoot and rhythmic swishing of waves create a rich sensory orchestration that is overwhelming and exhilarating at the same time. What is your sensory connection with the sea and beyond? In this workshop led by Dawn-Joy Leong, we explore the sounds associated with the ocean and recreate our own personal oceanic soundscapes with innocuous materials easily found at home.

Hosted by Ethos Books

In this workshop, young explorers will dive into the amazing world of sharks! From their fintastic adaptations that make these animals special, to the important role that apex predators play in the ecosystem; discover why they need our help and what you can to do be an ocean guardian!

Whether we're aware of it or not, our personal lives are entangled with our environment in multiple ways. This could be in the form of childhood memories tied to natural places that have changed over time, or our daily interactions with nature that we take for granted. In this workshop led by author Esther Vincent, we will examine how one might draw from their personal lives and stories when engaging with the theme of ecology. We will read some personal essays from Making Kin: Ecofeminist Essays from Singapore, and consider how these essays draw on the writers' personal experiences to grapple with urgent environmental concerns.
