![](https://musee.oceano.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/07/Snapper-club-2-1-1142x500.jpg)
Committed for over 100 years to mediating and raising public awareness of the Ocean, the Oceanographic Institute, Albert I Prince of Monaco Foundation in collaboration with the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is organizing the 11th edition of the “Oceano for All” educational competition for the 2024-2025 school year.
The aim of the contest is to help teachers and their classes to discover and understand the Ocean, and to create a societal and collective project to protect it in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 13 and 14 (SDGs).
Aware of the new way in which young people look at the environment and their growing desire to take action to protect it, the Oceanographic Institute is working to support and accompany these new generations and help them to better understand how to act in the face of today’s challenges.
To help them manage and develop their project, teachers and students will be able to benefit from the support of an educational team specialising in scientific and cultural mediation, and take part in virtual workshops on the main marine themes.
In order to enhance the reflections and actions they have implemented throughout the contest, the registered classes will produce a video report and a document that presents the project and its ecological and societal impact.
The classes that will carry the most impacting projects from a human and environmental point of view will be awarded:
- Oceano pour tous” prize Category “France and Monaco less than 1100 Km from the Museum”: a two-day trip to Monaco with the prize-giving ceremony.
- Oceano pour tous – Collège” (Oceano for all – secondary school) Category “France + 1100 Km from the Museum”: up to 3,000 euros for the organization of activities to raise awareness of the Ocean.
- Two “Helping Hand” prizes awarded thanks to the support of the Association des Amis du Musée océanographique de Monaco.
- Four special “Oceano for all” prizes: a “Theme Mastery Prize”, a “Sea Culture Prize”, an “Originality Prize” and a “Helping Hand Prize”.
