    «During the first edition of the project, these incredible students learned ocean literacy and were invited to be part of an international ocean movement committed to advocate its value. It was very hard for both the teachers and the students to stay focused during these difficult months, experiencing home schooling and all the challenges related to the pandemic. Their enthusiasm has been really touching.»

    «The global scale of the problems facing the ocean means that no single country or organisation can fix them all. We need partnerships across science, decision-makers and the private sector to create a sustainable ocean economy that uses the ocean but also preserves and cherishes it. Together with the Prada Group, we hope to mobilise more and more students from around the world and transform their energy and creativity into a vector towards a more ocean-literate society.»
