SHORE for Schools
SHORE will provide European schools with the opportunity to propose projects on environmental and maritime sustainability. If selected, these projects will receive funding for their proposed activities.
Schools across Europe will have the chance to participate in 3 open calls within 6 months and receive a maximum contribution of 10,000 euros.
Additionally, schools will have access to a digital platform that will serve as a virtual learning environment and enable the monitoring of school projects. At the end of the school year, the best project will be awarded the “Ocean Ambassador” prize.

The Country Hubs
Thanks to SHORE, Country Hubs will be established, which will serve as centers offering guidance to educators and schools for the implementation of their projects, utilizing open school methodologies.
Country Hubs will also promote activities such as exhibitions, workshops, training, seminars, and meet talks with the goal of increasing ocean literacy within society.
