MeerSehen (SEEtheSEA)

With “MeerSehen” (SEEtheSEA) EUCC-D continued the successfully implemented extracurricular educational projects, and dedicated itself once again on its educational work focusing on coast and sea. From September 2014 on a youth media competition in Schleswig-Holstein invited children and young people from school year 5 to 13 to expand their awareness of their maritime environment. The contest was based on the concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). It called young people to rediscover coast and sea through media and to explore coast and sea as an economic, natural, social and cultural area or place of their own identity.

"MeerSehen" (SEEtheSEA) was a joint project of EUCC - The Coastal Union Germany (EUCC-D), the initiative Zukunftsschule.SH, the Open Channel Schleswig-Holstein (OKSH) and the Administration of the Wadden Sea National Park Schleswig-Holstein. The project was managed by EUCC-D.

Duration: April 2014 to July 2015

Funded by: BINGO! Projektförderung in Schleswig-Holstein, Schleswig-Holsteinische Sparkassen, Verband für Schulen des gemeinsamen Lernens S-H (GGG)
