The River Cities Network (RCN) boat trip on Friday, August 2 will take place on the Brantas River in Gresik district, southwest of Surabaya. The excursion will be hosted by—and co-organized with—ECOTON, an Indonesian environmental NGO and Foundation.
Besides being a fun excursion on the Brantas River in the the urban periphery of Surabaya, this activity also has an experiential learning objective: ECOTON will raise our awareness about the scale and impact of plastics in our waterways. Besides merely listening, you will also be invited to lend a helping hand!
Photo voice
This boat trip is also a pop-up workshop in which we'll try out the Photovoice research method (we've discussed this method in the roundtable). During the trip you are invited to take pictures with your mobile phone. We'll explore the method following four main themes:
- Vegetation
- Animal life
- Social life
- Water quality
Next to indicating in which theme your photo belongs to, we ask you to add specific (not generic) categories and a caption describing the photo in more detail.
