Marine Projects

The Explorers Education Programme™ aims to build on Ireland’s marine and maritime heritage by increasing awareness of the value, opportunities and social benefits of our ocean wealth and identity.

THE  GOALS

1. Educate school children, teachers and educators in Ireland, enabling them to understand the ocean’s influence on us and our influence on the ocean, through outreach activities in Ireland.

2. Coordinate professional development training and workshops for teachers and trainee teachers, to develop their marine literacy skills and promote the use of marine content in line with the national curriculum.

3. Develop education materials and resources based on the Irish school curriculum to support teachers teaching marine subjects in schools.

4. Promote ocean literacy and marine outreach activities with local communities, educators and influencers so as to create dialogue and engagement about our ocean.
