SHORE: EmpOweR Students as the agents of cHangE

Project description

A rising tide against ocean illiteracy in Europe

As our oceans face unprecedented threats from climate change and pollution, the need for ocean literacy becomes increasingly evident. Across Europe, students and educators lack essential knowledge about marine ecosystems and sustainable practices. With this in mind, the EU-funded SHORE project aims to engage students, teachers and schools in the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean seas, and Danube and Rhine River areas. With 14 consortium partners, SHORE will increase awareness through community activities, workshops and exhibitions. A digital platform will track progress, while an annual public voting session will celebrate outstanding achievements, culminating in the prestigious Ocean Ambassador/Literate of the Year Award.

Objective

"SHORE will be focusing on engaging & mobilizing students, teachers, and schools to implement the Mission Ocean objectives to increase ocean literacy with the help of community activities & cooperation projects. SHORE project will last 36 months and cover five different regional areas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean Sea, Danube & Rhine River Area) with its 14 consortium partners. It will set up Country Hubs to offer guidance for the educators and schools on Blue Curricula, develop and implement their projects and use open schooling methodologies. Contry Hubs will also promote community activities such as exhibitions, workshops, training, seminars, and meetNtalks to increase the awareness of ocean literacy among the society. SHORE will provide grants to 100 schools through three open call periods for proposals to support blue projects for a maximum amount of up to 10.000 euro per grant. Educational materials and trainings for educators will be available during th eprojec to increase their knowledge about sustainable and blue education. A digital platform will be set-up to monitor school projects, and provide a virtual learning environment system including rewards and badges. In addition, at the end of each school period, a public voting session will be held to raise awareness & engagement, create a wider audience and select the best school project which will receive the ""Ocean Ambassador/Literate of the Year Award. An Ocean Literacy Action Center will be established within the YTU to coordinate public activities and bring researchers and public together to enhance ocean literacy during the project and thereafter."
