“Know Your Sea” Featured in UNESCO Article
UNESCO’s main organization has taken notice of the project “Under the Archipelago,” an educational format developed in collaboration with Aarhus University’s “Know Your Sea” initiative, UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago, and the schooner Fylla.
Each year, “Under the Archipelago” sends 1,000 students from South Funen aboard the ship to conduct marine environmental studies as part of a six-week educational program.
The project is now gaining global exposure to inspire other geoparks and ships to collaborate in combining contemporary marine issues with historical sailing, engaging young people worldwide who will be responsible for the ocean’s critical condition in the years to come.
