Job Description: Marine Systems & Sustainability Programmes Facilitator (Freelance)

Company Overview

The Narrative Nest Singapore designs and delivers contemporary education programmes for schools and youth organisations.

Under our Marine Systems & Sustainability programmes, we use ocean and environmental contexts to develop students’ ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and make informed decisions about real-world issues.

Our workshops are structured, discussion-driven sessions that use marine contexts for applied learning.

Students engage in guided activities, group discussions, and decision-making tasks that build confidence, self-awareness, and the ability to express and justify their ideas.

Our programmes may explore areas such as:
Coastal and marine ecosystems in urban environments
Human impact on oceans, including pollution and resource use
Food systems, aquaculture, and sustainability trade-offs
Maritime activity, trade, and environmental considerations
Interpreting information and making decisions in complex, real-world scenarios

We work primarily with upper primary, secondary, and youth audiences, delivering learning experiences that are structured, engaging, and grounded in real-world relevance.

Company Details

The Narrative Nest Singapore designs and delivers contemporary education programmes for schools and youth organisations. Our workshops sit at the intersection of technology, media, and society, covering areas such as artificial intelligence, digital storytelling, cyber wellness, and emerging technologies.

Rather than lecture-style sessions, TNN programmes are interactive and exploratory. Students investigate real-world issues, experiment with creative tools, and develop the ability to think critically about the digital systems shaping their lives.

Our workshops often blend multiple disciplines in a single experience. A session may combine AI literacy with media creation, digital ethics with storytelling, or research with hands-on production. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to understand technology not just as users, but as thinkers and creators.

TNN works primarily with upper primary, secondary, and youth audiences, designing learning experiences that are intellectually engaging, discussion-driven, and grounded in contemporary digital culture.
