Description: The project aimed to raise awareness and involve school children in marine environment protection, surpassing most expected outcomes but encountering challenges in specific indicators. While the mobilisation of schools exceeded targets, actions within schools and municipal staff training fell short due to dependencies on local authorities and regional partners. Delays in teacher training and video production resulted from unforeseen circumstances, yet the project engaged more students and schools than anticipated, highlighting its value. Despite difficulties, partnerships with local businesses like Guyavoile and emerging ventures such as Géofocus brought local development benefits. Moving forward, clearer project planning, consistent funding, and stronger school commitments to transportation are essential for success. Engaging public authorities remains a challenge, but recent interest signals potential partnerships, emphasising the need for sustained financial support and administrative assistance for future endeavors.

Duration: 13 months
