Repsol's Plataforma Educativa training program
The program is designed and run by Repsol Brasil with the help of local stakeholders, communities, local councils, fishermen, the Navy, etc. A permanent dialogue is being made with them to design the Educational Platform's contents and route. Local management is being carried out by the Costa Brasilis Institute and the USP Oceanographic Institute, and it has institutional alliances with the Brazilian Navy and local councils.
On a mobile unit (platform truck), lectures are offered on environmental and safety education, as well as courses specifically aimed at the fishing community such as "Safety at sea," "Fish Processing," "MAREM - Environmental Mapping for Emergency Response at Sea," and various educational activities such as the Environmental Tarot Reading and Understanding Garbage.
In addition, the long-term partnership with the Brazilian Navy allows the professional qualification of fishermen through the courses "Level 1 Waterway Training (POP courses - Professional Fishing)" and "Auxiliary Deck-Hand (MAC).”

Testimonies from some program participants
Leticia Quito, biologist and manager of APA Marina Litoral Sur
"The program is good for fishers to become professionally certified and it's also an opportunity to talk about the importance of protecting our natural resources."
Arildo Cunha, fisher and participant in the Plataforma Educativa training program
“I've always dreamed of getting this license. Now I'm doing just fine, I'm earning more, and I feel more sure of myself when I go out to sea."
