Blue Schools
Educating about the sea means educating for the future. European Blue Schools bring the sea and the ocean into the classroom through concrete projects developed together with students and teachers.
The initiative is part of the Network of European Blue Schools – NEBS, promoted by the European Commission, supported by DG MARE and part of the EU4Ocean Coalition for Ocean Literacy.
The objective is to develop Ocean Literacy: understanding how the sea and the ocean influence our lives and how our actions influence the sea and the ocean.
A school does not necessarily need to be located on the coast to become a European Blue School: every school can start from its own territory, its own subjects and the connections that link everyday life to the ocean. The Network is open to schools throughout the European Union.
