events event: MedSkippers Webinar on Ocean Literacy

Date: March 04, 2021

Place:  ONLINE, - Greece

Description of the event: 

The MedSkippers project is organizing a webinar on Ocean Literacy[1] for professional skippers, and those who wish to become professional skippers one day, in order to help them upgrade their knowledge and drive excellence across nautical charter tourism in the Mediterranean

The webinar is intended to help skippers understand that apart from the standard competences needed, ocean literacy in itself has become a necessary skill that can further support environmental sustainability, improve long-term careers of skippers and enrich tourist experiences. By truly understanding how interconnected humans are with the ocean, all of us, and especially marine professionals such as skippers, can make small everyday changes which will make a “sea” of difference in the ocean as will be demonstrated in our webinar!

Webinar on Ocean Literacy: Tuesday 4 of March at 11:00 (CET)
