'ROY-GIVE-VIB' -- Shaping the Spectrum through Addressing the Grave Deficiency in Learning

This project in the Philippines addresses a lack of educational resources on marine biodiversity and the underutilization of the artistic talents of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By organizing marine-themed art workshops in collaboration with the ASD community, the project will create engaging educational materials, including coloring and picture books, to fill gaps in marine knowledge. The materials will cover endangered marine species and offer autistic artists the freedom to contribute their personal creations. The project will also include an art gallery and public exhibitions to raise funds for further environmental education efforts. This project will not only enhance marine education, it will also provide therapeutic and creative outlets for autistic individuals, promoting inclusivity and environmental stewardship.
