This online session from the SEGO Initiative explores how global ocean education is evolving through Sea Beyond, UNESCO’s ocean literacy program developed in partnership with Prada Group. The discussion looks at how international education initiatives can help build a new generation of ocean-literate citizens.

The session will also highlight work in Japan, including SEA BEYOND’s creative collaboration with Sakana-kun. It offers a clear, accessible entry point for educators, students, sustainability professionals and anyone interested in the future of ocean education.
