— Last year, Prada partnered with UNESCO on an education program called “Sea Beyond” for high school students worldwide to raise awareness of, and promote, more responsible behavior toward the oceans. Now the Italian luxury company and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission are presenting the last phase of the project, culminating on March 26.
The project is in line with the Agenda of the United Nations 2030 and 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The first phase kicked off in October and ended last month. During this period, high school teachers in 10 cities around the world (Berlin, Cape Town, Lisbon, London, Mexico City, Milan, New York, Paris, Shanghai, and Venice) took part in webinars conducted by UNESCO-IOC experts, in which they received training on how to develop an educational module dedicated to the theme of ocean sustainability.
