Education
As human exploitation and use of the Mediterranean and Black
Sea resources have both intensified over the years, it is crucial to
understand these areas and their future environmental capacities.
SESAME aims to disseminate the scientific knowledge gained from its
research activities to a broad audience including schoolchildren and
young scientists.
Educational activities
School Competition 2008 -2009 !
Get acquainted with the life at sea onboard a research vessel! Step into
scientists shoes and embark for an oceanographic cruise, ready to
sample and analyse your data in laboratory !
With your class, imagine and create a travel diary or a newspaper (depending the level) about a
oceanographic cruise using the previous cruise diaries and other resources available on the
Sesame website!

Follow the SESAME cruises!
If you would like to take part in an oceanographic expedition without getting wet,
and from the comfort of your classroom or living room, we invite you to follow in
almost 'real-time' the cruise diaries and interact with the scientists on research
vessels.
