What if Earth had a beating heart that powered everything on the planet? In a way, the Global Ocean is like Earth’s heart.
Using this powerful premise and the principles of ocean literacy, award-winning author Rochelle Strauss builds students’ understanding of the global ocean’s influence on us, and our influence on the ocean.
Through this dynamic, engaging and interactive presentation, students will dive into the global ocean to discover that while Earth is home to five distinct oceans, these oceans are actually connected to form one global ocean and this one ocean sustains all life on Earth. The presentation will highlight the important roles the global ocean plays in supporting all life on Earth, such as regulating Earth’s climate, controlling weather, providing habitat, and as a source of food for many animals on the planet (including people).
But the global ocean is in trouble, with many human activities having a huge impact on the global ocean. Students will explore how pollution, overfishing, acidification, habitat destruction, warming water and rising sea levels are all affecting the health of the global ocean.
Through stories called Ripples of Change, Rochelle will share that the news isn’t all bad. By showcasing leading ocean conservation initiatives and other good news stories from around the world, Rochelle will demonstrate the actions people and organizations are taking to protect the global ocean.
The final, and perhaps most impactful and dramatic moment of the presentation comes with an interactive activity that engages the full audience and which clearly demonstrates to each student the power of just one person to make a change. This activity leaves students feeling empowered and inspired. It will also build their capacity for making informed and responsible decisions when it comes to protecting the Earth’s global ocean.

Rencontrez l'autrice Anne Renaud et profitez d'une lecture de son livre Albertine Petit-Brindamour déteste les choux de Bruxelles. Vous aurez également l'occasion de lui poser des questions et de participer à une activité de bricolage. Des instructions et une liste de matériel seront fournies en avance du programme.
Anne Renaud est l’autrice de plus de vingt-cinq œuvres jeunesse, écrites autant en français qu’en anglais. Elle est reconnue pour ses albums illustrés et ses documentaires sur l’histoire du Québec et du Canada. Ses œuvres ont remporté plusieurs prix, dont le Prix Peuplier, le Prix des libraires du Québec, et le Prix de la Fédération des écrivains du Québec pour la littérature pour enfants et jeunes adultes. De plus, ses poèmes, articles, contes et projets de bricolage paraissent régulièrement dans les magazines pour enfants. Ses lecteurs lui demandent souvent pourquoi elle écrit. Elle leur répond que c’est parce qu’elle aime faire des choses créatives, mais que, ne sachant pas bien danser, chanter, jongler ou faire des tours de magie, elle fait de son mieux pour bien écrire. Anne vit et écrit à Westmount, au Québec.
