Next BlueGeneration

The Next BlueGeneration initiative utilizes a creative approach to ignite enthusiasm within classrooms, motivating young individuals to pursue careers in the Blue Economy. 

The core objective is to empower educators in secondary, vocational, and tertiary education by providing cutting-edge digital tools and the latest data. This will enable them to guide students effectively towards a future in the blue economy.

Goal and Objectives
The project is driven by a dual main objective: enhancing the age balance within the blue economy workforce and reducing youth unemployment. To achieve this, our aspirations include:

• Establishing an updated dataset outlining career and training pathways across five key sectors of the Blue Economy (Nautical Tourism, Maritime Transport, Marine Biotechnology, Aquaculture, and Marine Conservation).
• Developing digital tools to bolster the mission of educators.
• Providing comprehensive training to teachers and educators on effectively utilizing the upcoming Next BlueGeneration tools.

Next BlueGeneration invites young people and teachers as well as everyone interested in Blue Economy to actively engage with project partners. With a variety of opportunities for participation, the project aims to unite a group of people committed to revitilise Blue Economy!
