EDUCATION

A Journey of Awareness and Action
for the Ocean

In our Education area, we aim to be an active part of the journey towards greater understanding and action in the face of the climate crisis — placing the ocean at the heart of the conversation. This is a space for collaboration, constant growth, and shared purpose, where we design programmes that inspire, empower, and connect the next generation with the future of our planet.

We believe education is where the future begins. And on this path, the ocean is both our starting point and our shared destination. Restoring and protecting it is not just a cause — it’s a collective responsibility, and every student has the power to make a difference.

Generation Blue

Programme designed for schools, where students take part in a challenge inspired by the “wedges” of scientist Carlos Duarte. Through this experience, they learn about the vital role of the ocean, how to protect it, and how to take part in its restoration.

University Challenge

We collaborate with universities to tackle real-world problems related to the ocean and the climate crisis. Here, students bring their knowledge to life by co-creating solutions that can make a real impact.

Hero Kids

Platform to raise the voices of children and young people who are already taking action for our ocean. We highlight their projects, ideas and stories — celebrating their awareness and commitment as the true heroes of today.
