The Madeira Whale Museum is highlighted in this month's edition of Saber magazine, with a interview to the Museum Director Ana Nóbrega.
The Sea Shop discipline is part of the Learning with the Sea project of Caniçal's EB2/3 and subsequently turned an exhibition with the objects that students built during the school year.
This school 5º4 class with Alternative Curricular Projects come every tuesdays mornings to the Museum for the Sea Shop lesson. The purpose is to motivate this 11 students to respect the Oceans and encourage learning through pratical activities, useful and environmentally friendly behavior.
During the year students benefit from awareness raising activities in the museum, collect garbage in Caniçal beaches and reusing it in art objects, as well as water collection for analyzing it later (pollution, temperature and pH). They build a small boat and benefit from workshops throughout learning.
So far we had two special guests, Quintino Mendes who taught us to carve in wood and stone, and Marco Magalhaes who brought us "We Workshop".
A special thanks for your contribution and for making us more aware sailors!

The Madeira Whale Museum celebrates its 25th birthday On May 28. Within these celebrations it was presented the exhibition called Dentes do Ofício, result of an educational initiative put together by our Educative Services.
This year's anniversary counted with presense of Machico's City Hall Executives, led by the President Ricardo Franco. The Government was represented by the Regional Director of Education, Marco Gomes.
The anniversary was brightened with the opening of "Dentes do Ofício" exhibition, which results from a challenge launched by the educational services of the Whale Museum to the schools of the region.
The purpose was to associate the history of whaling and whale research. For this to be possible was given to each participating school a bone shape support that should be decorated with scenes from the museum history. Two categories were created: Communication (work to gather greater number of "likes" on the social network "Facebook") and illustration (work whose artistic intervention better portray the route of the institution over its 25 years of existence).
The highlight happened in the Cetaceans room , with the candle blowing and singing of congratulations of its 25 years, who counted with the presence of former Caniçal's whalers. Later was presented the Portfolio of Museum's Educational Services.

Took place in Madeira Whale Museum Auditorium, in April 24th at 17h, a lecture entitled "Base de Dados de Cetáceos na RAM", which results from a collaborative effort between the Madeira Ocean Observatory and the Madeira Whale Museum.
The creation of this database resulted from the need of sharing and integration of several scientific projects of different entities in the same platform, allowing the analysis and understanding of various parameters which affect animals and ecosystems populations, as well as facilitating the political decision-making.
