SHORE aims to increase the number of European Blue schools and offers guidance to schools wishing to become part of the Network of European Blue Schools, an initiative led by the European Ocean Coalition (EU4Ocean) that aims to contribute to ocean literacy in education.

The Network of European Blue Schools in a nutshell

The Network of European Blue Schools is an initiative that promotes ocean literacy and environmental education in schools across Europe. It encourages schools to integrate blue topics into their curriculum, fostering a greater understanding of the importance of implementing sustainable practices towards oceans, seas and rivers. The network is making a significant contribution to ocean literacy education in Europe, and it is helping to ensure that the next generation of Europeans are aware of the importance of the ocean and are equipped to make informed decisions about its sustainable management.
