This dynamic online resource is designed to promote water literacy and ocean education in primary and secondary schools across Europe and associated countries. The collection aims to inspire both educators and students to protect our oceans and freshwater ecosystems through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.

The catalogue features a wide range of materials covering ocean chemistry, freshwater resources, and citizen science tools. These resources are created for theoretical lessons, practical activities, and project-based learning, supporting teachers to effectively integrate marine and freshwater topics into their classrooms.

One standalone feature is the chance for educators to reuse, adapt, and share their resources, promoting a global exchange of ideas and teaching practices. The catalogue's multilingual accessibility makes it relevant for diverse educational systems, creating a truly inclusive platform.

Many resources in the catalogue have been developed by teachers who led Blue Projects funded by ProBleu grants, adding an authentic, classroom-tested dimension to the materials. The platform also encourages schools to join the European Blue Schools Network, a growing community committed to sustainable practices and the protection of marine and freshwater resources.

Aligned with the EU Mission: Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030, ProBleu aspires to cultivate a sense of shared responsibility for our planet's water ecosystems through education.

The ProBleu Resource Catalogue is now live, ready to be explored and enriched by educators worldwide. Check it out here!
