Ocean Learning Corner

The Ocean Learning Corner from EU4Ocean is your go-to resources for ocean literacy materials developed by members of Partners4Ocean, the Youth4Ocean Forum and the Network of European Blue Schools.

About

Our Ocean Learning Corner (OLC) is your one-stop shop for blue education resources developed by EU4Ocean members at EU level. Whether you are a teacher planning your next lesson, an educator designing outdoor activities, a young person who is passionate about the ocean or simply curious about the sea, this is where you can find tools to explore, understand and act for our ocean.

Our OLC brings together materials from organisations that are members of Partners4Ocean, Young Ocean Advocates and educational institutes that are European Blue Schools, making ocean literacy resources easier to find, access and use. Lesson plans, toolkits, multimedia content and guides are all designed to help learners of all ages build a deeper connection with the ocean and its role in our lives. It is more than a library: by making the work of EU4Ocean members more visible, it encourages synergies between initiatives, and inspires new collaborations across sectors and borders.

Browse our collection, discover what other members are doing and find inspiration for your own activities. Together, we can turn knowledge into action and help raise a generation that understands, values and protects the ocean.
