Educational activities
Education is the most effective means to change our mindset and habits. We focus on this field because we strongly believe that next generations will have a special role in supporting efforts for the protection of our seas.
Educational seminars in schools across Greece
Through student education, we seek to inform the next generations about the magnitude and root causes of marine pollution, focusing on passing on the message that there are solutions to protect the marine environment.
Up to now, more than 3,000 students have attended the educational programs of our organization, which has visited 35 different municipalities across Greece, having been active in 60 educational institutions! The workshops have been implemented in kindergartens (2%), elementary schools (64%), high schools (15%), lyceums (11%), and universities (8%). The evaluation of the educational programs by the teaching community is deemed highly encouraging. The data shows that over 95% of the schools visited by Aegean Rebreath have rated the organization, the educational program, the teaching methods, the content, the presence and the communication skills of the educational team as very good to excellent.
In this context, we have chosen a specific methodology for students to learn about the causes and effects of marine pollution and develop their own ideas on how to protect the environment with the aim to realize them through the implementation of small actions in their school.
