Coastal Communities For Science: A Bering Sea Partnership

“沿海社区促进科学：白令海伙伴关系”是世界自然基金会-美国、四个阿拉斯加土著农村社区和调查白令海峡生态的地区科学家之间为期三年的合作项目。它的主要目的是促进青年与科学的互动，并建议通过吸引高中及以上的年轻人与科学家一起进行研究来实现这一目标。该项目包括对社区青年进行科学和研究方法方面的培训，对这些农村社区的非正式教育工作者进行能力建设，以领导和鼓励实地方案，让社区长者参与科学概念的全面学习和交流，以及建立合作模式。科学内容是社区兴趣和研究人员兴趣的混合体，以当地的环境和经济问题为基础。在世界自然基金会的支持和电子技术的支持下，这有可能成为一个在地方、区域和国家层面广泛传播的示范项目。

"Coastal Communities for Science: A Bering Sea Partnership" is a 3-year program of collaboration among the WWF-US, four Alaska native rural communities and regional scientists investigating the ecology of the Bering Strait. Its primary purpose is to advance youth interaction with science and it proposes to achieve this by engaging young people from high school and beyond to conduct research with scientists. The project which involves training community youth on science and research methods, capacity building of informal educators in these rural communities to lead and encourage field-based programs, inclusion of community elders in the overall learning and communication of science concepts and the creation of a model of collaboration. The science content, an amalgam of community interest and researcher interest, is grounded in local environmental and economic issues. With WWF's support and electronic technology, this has the potential of being a model project that is broadly disseminated at local, regional and national levels.
