"Resilience and Friends" is here to dissolve the barriers to preventing environmental education time in the schools and classrooms that existed even before 2020. The reason for the resistance towards the educational programs is that the academic standards teachers must teach yearly
only allow room for learning within the set curriculum. Environmental, oceanic, and climate literacy have historically taken the backburner unless a passionate teacher or principal prioritized it. "Resilience and Friends" was created to solve this problem by removing the barrier and providing grade-specific educational content that can be easily integrated into the classroom. It supports the teachers to prepare students with 21st-century learning that reflects their world.
