Join Our Marine Science Workshop Series – A Unique Opportunity for Young Women

Do you have a passion for the ocean and marine wildlife? Cetacean Sisters invites secondary school girls to a hands-on, inspiring series of five, two-hour workshops focused on the fascinating world of whales and dolphins. Held on the beautiful shores of Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula, this program is designed to develop scientific skills, foster curiosity, and connect young women with experienced scientists.

Workshop Highlights:

• Hands-On Learning: Each workshop will offer interactive and practical experiences, providing a 'deep dive' into the world of cetaceans found in our local waters.

• Expert Guidance: The sessions are led by a passionate local cetacean scientist and educator, along with her experienced marine scientist colleagues, all eager to mentor and share their expertise.

• Career Insights: While this workshop isn’t a direct substitute for traditional work experience, it offers valuable insights into the marine science career path, showcasing the opportunities and realities of working with marine wildlife.
