We work together on projects that promote a society of Ocean Literate citizens

EU4Ocean workshops

On 24 and 25 September 2020, a series of interactive and participatory online workshops were held to serve as a platform for founding members and key stakeholders and present their ambition, organisation, process and tools put in place for supporting collective action for each of the three communities of the EU4Ocean Coalition.

EMSEA co-organised the workshop on the Network of European Blue Schools and the Mediterranean Sea Workshop . and participated actively in the North Sea/Atlantic workshop, the Baltic Sea workshop and the Black Sea workshop.

EU4Ocean Coalition

EMSEA is a partner in the EU4Ocean Coalition which aims to unite the voice of Europeans regarding ocean literacy and the sustainable management of the ocean.

The consortium combines EU-wide activities with actions dedicated to the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean (including the North Sea), the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the global ocean.

The coalition is made up of three components:

1) a EU4Ocean Platform for organisations and individuals engaged in Ocean Literacy initiatives;

2) a European Youth Forum for the Ocean; and

3) a Network of European Blue Schools.

EMSEA is managing the Network of European Blue Schools together with Ciencia Viva and is a founding member of the EU4Ocean Platform.
