BlueLights: 1st Call for Blue Challenges/Blue Schools

We are excited to announce that a new call for Blue Challenges/Blue Schools has been officially opened. This initiative invites innovative solutions that address pressing challenges within the blue economy. The BlueLightS project aims to support flexible and effective ocean and water literacy programs. Each project considered for support must promote the objectives of the EU Mission “Restore our ocean and waters by 2030,” strengthen the NEBS, and contribute to the EU4Ocean Coalition.

This is a fantastic opportunity specifically directed at primary and secondary-level schools (including vocational schools) in the EU-27 Member States and third countries associated with Horizon Europe. Eligible schools must either be EU blue schools or have applied to become one.

We encourage eligible institutions to explore this call, engage their students and communities in ocean and water literacy, and apply to be part of this important initiative! You can find more information here.
