- 1st Vocational High School of Konistres (Evia, Greece).
During the kick-off meeting, which took place online, were presented the project in detail, the activities that each partner will have to carry out, the rules to follow in the framework of the Erasmus + Program 2021-2027 and the opportunities for young people offered by the Blue Economy.
Discussion has begun on how to introduce into the school curricula of European Technical Nautical Institutes, the topics of the so-called Ocean & Climate Literacy which allow us to have a more scientifically correct understanding of the role that oceans and seas have for the planet, in the fight against climate change, for the conservation of biodiversity and for the health of all.
The project will end in August 2023, the activities for schools are starting from the next school year. The second meeting between the partners is scheduled for next week.
