World Ocean Day for Schools provides educators with the inspiration, resources and activities to engage their students in a more meaningful conversation about the ocean.
Since its launch in 2018 World Ocean Day for Schools has focused on increasing ocean literacy in schools. We’ve evolved from a small-scale event with 400 schools to an interactive online festival with over 100k users. Each year we design our approach based upon the feedback from teachers, students and our extensive network of ocean advocates. Much of our role at WOD for Schools to curate a diverse & engaging program of educational ocean content that is designed to fit age ranges, time slots and themes as opposed to aligning with specific curriculums – enabling us to reach a wider number of students across the UK and further afield.
