During a visit to Malta, the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, met our BlueMissionMed partners XjenzaMalta, for the presentation of “Our Blue Treasure“, the ocean and waters literacy educational book developed for young audiences by our project’s partners FVA – New Media Research.

The ad hoc meeting was a pivotal moment to underline the vital role of early education in shaping environmentally conscious citizens and supporting the broader objectives of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2023”.

The discussion also provided an opportunity to present the progress and outcomes of BlueMissionMed, which brings together stakeholders across the Mediterranean to co-create sustainable solutions for the protection and restoration of marine and water ecosystems.
President Metsola’s support on our book for kids represents a strong political recognition of the role of education and citizen engagement in advancing Mission Ocean goals.
