The Network of European Blue Schools is part of the EU4Ocean Coalition, an initiative funded by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE). We are a hub for all schools and teachers that strive to engage students with oceanic, marine, or water topics and raise awareness on issues related to those environments. The concept of a European Blue School evolved from the marine education expertise gathered from consultations with teachers and educators across Europe. It acknowledges the variety of cultures and school communities from the 27 EU Member States and champions the concept of open schooling – encouraging the development of local partnerships to make the learning context relevant. The challenges that the work of teachers faces are many, but through the Network of European Blue Schools, you will not be working alone. All teachers are invited to join this effort to promote ocean literacy by taking the ocean into their classroom, helping to make it everyone’s concern, no matter where you are. Teachers are mentors and inspirational figures for students and the subjects they choose at school, as well as their future career choices and attitudes toward the environment.
