By Zoila Palma: Twenty-five young men from the Sadie Vernon cohort recently took the MENgage Table Talk initiative beyond its usual discussions and into Belize’s marine environment through an immersive visit to Calabash Caye and Caye Bokel in the Turneffe Atoll.
The experience focused on learning, exploration, connection and personal development, with participants exploring nature trails, taking part in citizen science activities and learning how technology and innovation are being used to support marine conservation.
The young men also engaged with local fisherfolk, gaining firsthand insight into their livelihoods and relationship with Belize’s marine environment.
The Belize City Council said the experience provided the participants with an opportunity to learn by doing while developing communication, collaboration and relationship-building skills.
The council expressed appreciation to the partners who helped make the experience possible, including UNICEF Belize, the Department of Youth Services, the Leadership Intervention Unit, the Child Advisory Body of Belize City, and the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association (TASA).
