Escola Azul once again partners with Estudo Autónomo for the organization of the 4th season of the webinars “In the Ocean's Defense”. Through different sessions, we aim to give a voice to the people of the sea, who have so much knowledge and experiences to share based on their different ways of dealing with the Ocean.
In 2024/25, we have 10 sessions with different guests with different perspectives on the Ocean. These webinars are intended to be a contribution to the development of Ocean Literacy and to the promotion of attitudes leading to a sustainable use of marine resources.
Each session will be held with the help of a Blue School, encouraging critical and active participation of the students, always with streaming through YouTube.
