How Schools Can Become Agents of Change for Blue Literacy

Schools are uniquely placed to lead the way in building blue literacy related to both marine and freshwater ecosystems. By sharing practical examples of school-led initiatives, we can show how classrooms have already become living laboratories for sustainability: student-led beach cleanups that combine science with community service, partnerships with local marine centers to monitor water quality, or creative arts projects that raise awareness of ocean biodiversity. These examples demonstrate that when young people are empowered, they not only learn about Earth's water bodies but also inspire their families and communities to take action.

The event introduces the SHORE project’s efforts to develop and share blue teaching routes, empowering teachers and students to actively protect marine and freshwater ecosystems through hands-on learning and collaboration. Join the webinar to:

• Learn from inspiring examples of school-driven projects making a measurable difference in ocean and water conservation.

• Engage with educators, researchers, and project coordinators involved in the SHORE project.

• Access innovative educational materials and strategies that can be integrated into classrooms and local communities.

• Learn more about the Ocean & Waters Ambassador of the Year Award
