A new blogpost on a co-created project to protect the ocean!

Two students from the University of Turin, Giulia Busso and Giulia D’Alessandro, have developed an innovative educational project, Viaggio verso un mare sano (“Journey to a Healthy Sea”), as part of their Environmental Law course in the Department of Earth Sciences and as a follow-up activity of the Ocean Incubator Network Toolkit implementing phase. This interactive initiative aims to raise awareness among primary school students about the critical issues of ocean resource overconsumption and water pollution. The students' project, which takes the form of an ocean-themed Game of the Goose, educates young participants on the importance of sustainable marine resource management and its connection to global challenges like hunger and environmental degradation. Through engaging gameplay, students learn how their actions as consumers can contribute to ocean protection and sustainability.

The creation of the project involved multiple phases, including research, design, digital and paper-based development, and classroom testing. Feedback collected during the trial phase helped refine the game, ensuring its effectiveness as an educational tool.
