Our Partners.

Interchange Non-Profit gUG, Bremen, Germany (Project Coordinator)

Interchange supports training, exchange and research in marine science communication, through a range of different initatives. We are guided by the frameworks outlined in the United Nations Ocean Decade and the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) 2030 Roadmap, and use these to interpret innovative educational responses to local needs in European communities.

Istituto dei Sordi, Turin, Italy

The institution is located in the north-west of Italy and operates at a regional and national level about services and an international level for special projects. The Turin Institution for the Deaf is an institution providing a wide range of services and activities, for d/Deaf and Deafblind persons.

The Institute's activities are not limited to deaf and deafblind students: as required by the Statute from the beginning, training courses, conferences, seminars and publications are provided for teachers, educators, parents and health workers. With this in mind, the Institute aims to become, in addition to a centre of service, an important place of thought, research, reflection, meeting and of exchange of ideas.

Our Associate Partners.

Euroblind.

Euroblind are an organisation working towards equal opportunities for blind and partially sighted people, to fully participate in all aspects of social, economic, cultural and political life. They see the importance of The Thalassophile Project. The project links to their 2022 statement on Access to Reading and Using Braille, and to their campaign for audio description and audio subtitling for what is shown onscreen in documentaries and films. EUROBLIND will support us in disseminting the project and sharing our project results.

Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research

Alfred Wegner Institute likewise have a sizeable pan European social media following, and are already known for their work making marine science more accessible and thereby encouraging greater knowledge of what we can all do to sustain our oceans and seas. In the context of this ongoing climate literacy work new audiences are always being sought and new ways to share data and findings. For example, high resolution maps of contrasting areas of seafloors have been produced recently, using a novel photogrammetrical approach. The 3-D printer files for these already exist and could be shared with museums, adult education insitutions or any organisation with the ability to 3-D print what could be a very helpful multisensory augmentation to an educational experience. AWI are actively looking for networks to share these results with.
