Spring School 2021

I live by the Sea Spring School entitled: Towards an ocean friendly citizenship.

The I live by the Sea Spring School has been co-designed by Today We Have in collaboration with European partners and community representatives, BANOS CSAIO PANMare Nostrum and Submariner Network for Blue Growth EEIG, members of the EU4Ocean Coalition. The EU4Ocean Coalition on Ocean Literacy which connects diverse organizations, projects and people that contribute to ocean literacy and the sustainable management of the ocean. Ocean literacy is part of a wider issue of literacy (climate, environmental) that implies understanding of how we influence the ocean and climate and how it influences us which allows us to act and make responsible choices to better protect our ocean and mitigate climate change.

This Spring School is a part of the I live by the Sea Project, an UN partner in the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Therefore, the webinars will reflect on the sustainability issues and will involve the discussions on widely understood Ocean Literacy issues, examples of good practices and lessons learnt from a number of initiatives, with a strong focus on the Baltic and the Black Sea perspectives.
