The Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort in Mauritius, which has recently been awarded the Green Key for the 4th time, takes their youngest guests on a very special dive.

In February, the Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort in collaboration with Reef Conservation, a local non-governmental organisation dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the marine environment of Mauritius, installed a new educational centre at the resort’s kids club which is truly one of it’s kind.

The educational centre in the shape of a yellow submarine is entered through a slide that brings the children to a colorful underwater vessel scenery. It is equipped with recycled mini stools, a television, a telescope, air conditioning and a magnetic board with various posters about the protection of the sea.

There are many activities and materials available in the centre, from ocean sensory activities to artwork, educational posters and workshops on marine life and marine sciences. By mixing both fun and science, the aim of this submarine is to raise children’s awareness about the fragility of the ocean’s ecosystems, the problems of environmental pollution and make them understand the importance of conservation.

Through involvement and active participation, the children learn to care about our oceans and marine life which is important to shape their attitude towards the environment and their behaviour in the future.
