摘要

Within the framework of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, alongside the EU efforts to promote Ocean Literacy (OL) across Europe (EU), and in line with the EU4Ocean Ocean Literacy Coalition, the Erasmus+ BlueSchoolsMed mobility project entitled “Supporting the development of socially inclusive Blue Challenges in schools in the Mediterranean Sea basin” (2020–2023) was designed and implemented to integrate the OL principles into school curricula. Ten partner institutions from Italy, France, Greece, and Malta worked together with teachers and students from 19 pilot schools to test innovative educational methods and activities focusing on sea-related topics. The three-year project was implemented in four phases: Conception, Implementation, Evaluation and Dissemination. Despite the challenges imposed by COVID-19, the project succeeded in implementing its mobility activities (transnational partner meetings, training workshops for teachers and students, and public dissemination events) engaging partners, teachers, students, maritime stakeholders and high-level representatives of educational communities and international organizations. This chapter provides an overview of the challenges, lessons learnt, and recommendations derived from the project implementation, which can inform future Ocean Literacy initiatives in the Mediterranean.
