BlueLightS aims at strengthening the skills and competencies of European children and youth to deliver “blue” (river and seas) resilience and sustainability. We will do so by supporting exciting co-built blue challenge projects in schools; facilitating a conversation at different scales between the “blue” and education communities; and, experimenting adaptions in education systems that raise attention given to rivers and seas. It is a challenging project but inspiring and essential for the long-term success of the EU Mission ‘Restore our ocean and waters by 2030’.
BlueLights has the overarching aim of enhancing ocean and water literacy in European schools, and we are fully aligned with the objectives of Mission Ocean and Waters
- Protecting and restoring the ecosystems
- Preventing and eradicating pollution
- Setting the path toward a sustainable blue economy
To achieve this, BlueLightS partners will be:
- Creating a knowledge base on Blue (school) education
- Providing support for European blue schools
- Engaging in Blue education Community of Practice
- Developing and testing a Blue education framework for national upscaling
