BlueTwinning: Bringing fishing culture closer to schools in the interior of the peninsula through a Sea-Land school twinning system

Pleamar program

The BlueTwinning project aims to bring fishing culture closer to schools in the interior of the peninsula (Community of Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha) through a twinning system with schools already certified in the Balearic Islands (Blue Schools) and students from the University of Alcalá.
The aim is to generate interest on the part of students in ocean culture, protection and recovery of biodiversity and support in sustainable fishing activities.

The general objective of the BlueTwinning project is to bring fishing culture closer to schools in the interior of the peninsula through a Sea-Earth school twinning system. This objective will be achieved through the implementation of the following specific objectives:

  • The generation of content related to the marine environment, the importance of protecting and recovering marine biodiversity and sustainable fishing activities.
  • Training for educators who can collaborate with educational centres in raising awareness and disseminating public information on sustainability and conservation of the marine environment.
  • Create a network of blue schools (BlueTwining) indoors through a school twinning system.
  • Development of content related to the marine environment
  • Review of already available resources created with previous projects of the Pleamar Program
  • Identification of inland centres and twinning with centres in the Balearic Islands
  • Training of educators with application of the Service Learning methodology
  • Activities that bring the sea closer to inland centres during the course
  • Monitoring of protected areas by students
  • Workshops at destination by fishermen on sustainable fishing
