The basis of our educational programs is to arouse curiosity and create a relationship with the Ocean. In addition to the curriculum, our pedagogy is based on the Sustainable Development Goals and we link experiences in the Ocean such as netting, snorkelling and boat trips, to theory through exercises and discussions about sustainability.

Naturum Öresund is a place for discoveries and experiences and this winter preschoolers, preschool classes and year 1 can learn about Öresund's fascinating ecosystem by exploring and creating in the Lek och leta program at Naturum.
In this educational program, the children learn more about their immediate environment beneath the surface by getting to know those who live in Öresund's exciting underwater world. The program is designed to combine play and learning through, among other things, species hunting in the exhibition and free creation in naturum's creative workshop.
​
The program includes time for snack and, when the weather permits, some free play at the Öresund thematic playground, which is right next to the Naturum.

We introduce the different parts of the ecosystem both through netting and assignments on the beach. Together we take a closer look at the species we find and create an understanding of life in Öresund.

During the spring term 2024, we offer the program Strand och tång for both middle and junior high school. A total of 12 classes get the opportunity to participate in this two-meeting program with a nature guide from naturum Öresund.
On the first occasion, the students get to explore the local ecosystem around Sibbarp's beach by doing different kinds of measurements and observations as well as discussions about their observations. The students get the opportunity to sort and group algae, seaweed and seagrass as well as rehearse related concepts such as photosynthesis. The second meeting takes place at naturum Öresund. We will take the opportunity to talk about sustainable development and explore the inhabitants of the shoreline through wading and netting. The program package is a collaboration between Pedagogisk Inspiration and naturum Öresund.
Upptäck havet
Target group: Upper secondary school years 1-3, special needs secondary school
Number of participants: 15 participants + teachers
Time required: 2.5 h incl. snack break
Location: naturum Öresund, Ribersborgsstigen 4, Malmö
​
In our educational program "Upptäck havet" we explore Öresund through snorkelling and free-diving. Freediving means staying under the surface of the water while holding your breath. In our case, that means investigating what lies beneath the surface of our shallow ocean. We start the morning by talking about Öresund and its unique ecosystem and go through things to think about when free-diving. To get comfortable in the water we do some breathing and relaxation exercises traditionally used in free-diving and yoga.
Equipped with wetsuits, fins and a mask and snorkel we then give you the opportunity to dive into the wonderful world of the sea in a way that is both relaxed, safe and stimulating.
