EU4Ocean and Scientix Webinar and Workshop: Unlocking Ocean Literacy and European Blue Schools

In today’s climate-conscious era, schools are uniquely positioned to advocate for ocean literacy and sustainable practices. If you are a teacher, educator, or school administrator eager to make a meaningful impact, this online event is for you.

 

Webinar (17:00 - 17:30 CET)

During the 30-minute webinar, we will introduce you to the concepts of ocean literacy and how it can be integrated into education through the European Blue Schools initiative. We will dive into the importance of understanding our oceans, not only as an invaluable source of biodiversity and critical element in addressing global environmental challenges, but also as a powerful tool in education. We will learn how European Blue Schools are taking the lead in promoting ocean awareness within educational institutions, inspiring students to become ocean stewards. Our experts will guide you through useful tools and resources for better ocean education.

Workshop (17:30 – 18:30 CET)

Following the webinar, we invite a limited number of participants to an hour-long  hands-on workshop, split in three tracks. This workshop will provide a more interactive platform to delve deeper into the world of ocean literacy and the European Blue Schools initiative. You will gain first-hand experience in designing a blue project, while engaging with experts and collaborating with like-minded teachers and educators. Together, we will discover the practical steps needed to transform your school into a European Blue School.
