• More than a Miniboat (Part 2): Connecting in Ireland

  From the Cliffs of Moher to the classrooms of Galway, our trip to Ireland in March with Educational Passages highlights the magic of ocean education. This is the second part of a conversation with Juliet Fluty (click here to listen to part 1). It dives into all the details behind the visits we mentioned in our blog post: educationalpassages.org/miniboat-magic-in-ireland/. The trip to Ireland unveiled profound connections that have been made through our miniboat program, and the impact is has had on communities involved. We explore the journeys of students, the warmth of local hospitality, and the importance of the ocean in education and our lives. To access the special VIDEO version of this podcast, visit https://youtu.be/FTHFK8uzZ5k. Support the showEducational Passages is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect people around the world to the ocean and each other through unique global experiences.
