World Earth Week - Exploring Marine Pollution

Geography students use podcasts to raise awareness during World Earth Week

Geography students recently undertook an engaging ocean education project where they looked into the impact of marine pollution.

The session was run in partnership with Blue Marine Foundation to inspire the next generation of ocean champions by getting young people involved with real-life environmental issues. The students looked at the causes and effects of marine pollution.

Learning Outside The Classroom

This workshop links to the work of the Blue Marine Foundation’s Max Stenbeck Legacy Programme, which enables schools to bring ocean education into the classroom.

During the session, students were encouraged to think about how actions they can take locally can make a difference globally. They will gain the knowledge and confidence to become informed and responsible global citizens.
