SEATALES vision

SEA TALES aims to support teachers of primary and secondary education to develop competences and knowledge so as to integrate Ocean Literacy education through role-playing activities in their classrooms and introduce students to its concept and principles for building a generation of ocean literate, active and responsible citizens.

Our Goal

SEA TALES comes to fill in OL gaps by embedding an innovative, inclusive and action-oriented educational programme into school communities which will support teachers of primary and secondary education and their students into understanding how we as individuals influence the ocean and how the ocean influences us, which is the core of ocean literacy.

Different learners will be impacted differently.

Students will be equipped with the right set of skills and competences for better understanding their role as environmental citizens and the effort they need to put into for being responsible and resilient towards the ocean and all its resources
Educators will further advance their professional development by embedding in their teaching and learning practices ready to use resources for delivering OL education.
