Did you know?

More than half of the oxygen on Earth is produced in the ocean? Or that all seas are connected? How about the names of 5 species of freshwater fish?

Perhaps you did, but studies show that most students don’t.

Increasing the visibility of aquatic environments in textbooks, teacher trainings and national curriculums is critical to ensure these ecosystems become understood and safeguarded by current and future generations.

Let’s bring the blue into all European classrooms for…

Fun, interdisciplinary learning both indoors and outdoors.

Deeper understandings of aquatic environments and the challenges they face.

A shared sense of wonder and connection to aquatic environments.

Empowered future generations, capable of making informed choices.

The promotion of sustainable job opportunities.

Healthy, thriving and resilient blue ecosystems.
