Wilder - A Kids Workshop Series to Raise Awareness and Funds for Cetacean Sanctuaries Part 2 : Echolocation and Communication
Today we will learn about the senses of cetaceans (dolphins, whales, porpoises) and how these highly sensitive and intelligent creatures use sound and echolocation as their main* source of communication and navigation. We will listen to different examples of whale and dolphin sounds and get curious about what they may be singing about. Then, we will explore how humans use sound to communicate. We will write and sing a song dedicated to freedom for cetaceans, and their lives in the sea.
This 5-part series is full of whale and dolphin science, artistic expression, and everyday activism in support of cetacean sanctuaries! A portion of proceeds will go to the whalesanctuaryproject.org. This program is geared towards children 7-11 years old. For more information, click the link below.
