Join us and participate in an engaging webinar with Maria Vittoria Marra scheduled for April 3rd, 2024, Â 2 – 3 PM CET. Â Her presentation will focus on the past, present and future of the Irish Ocean Literacy Network (IOLN), one of the longest-running Ocean Literacy Networks across Europe. We will explore the initiatives aimed at achieving an Ocean Literate society across the island of Ireland, which the IOLN has developed since 2016 when it started as an informal organisation. We will learn about the work it is currently carrying out to promote the growth of the Network via implementing the tools and methods developed within PREP4BLUE. Finally, we will see how the IOLN plans to deploy its long-term strategy, which was recently drafted eliciting the feedback of its members and other stakeholders in its new status as a formal social enterprise. This overview will show how the IOLN experience can inspire and guide the establishment of other Ocean Literacy Networks across Europe, and therefore support the citizen engagement objectives of Mission Ocean & Waters.
