Our mission
|
|
Our mission is to bring together educators and students from across the world to fight the Plastic Pollution crisis. |
We know it is through education that we will make the biggest and long lasting impact and influence the next generation to not only solve the current problem, but most importantly, create a collective consciousness to prevent the recurrence of habits that affect our planet's well-being.
We strongly believe education plays a very important role in changing people's behaviour. With that in mind we have an virtual lesson in place ready to be delivered - via Skype, Zoom, Teams, Meet (or any other platform) - to groups of young children, teenagers or adults.

The idea
The creation of this website was inspired by three eTwinning projects related to the sea and/or plastic pollution awareness - "A Voyage of Sea Discovery", "BLASTIC" and "Litter@sea". These were developed by Manuela Correia and her students, in partnership with other European teachers, due to a growing concern about the health of our oceans and the need to take action.
It is our understanding that we need to learn and know in order to love and protect. Thus the name "Litter@sea" which has a double-reading effect: it can be perceived as 'litter at sea' or 'literacy' if one reads it fast enough.
The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
|
«In 2015, world leaders gathered at the UN to adopt 17 Sustainable Development Goals to achieve several extraordinary things by 2030: end poverty, promote prosperity and well-being for all, and protect the planet. The Sustainable Development Goals set a course to achieve these objectives – for people everywhere.»
in http://www.unfoundation.org/features/globalgoals/the-global-goals.html We're raising awareness and working to meet goals 14, 15, 13, 12 and 6. |
