decisões, bem como comunicar e ensinar, sobre o oceano. Além disso,
pretende potenciar o papel dos professores e educadores como
multiplicadores desta capacidade, aumentando a capacidade dos seus
alunos e comunidades escolares de transformar o conhecimento em efetivas
mudanças de atitude. O curso abordará a Literacia do Oceano sob a
abordagem multiperspetiva consagrada pela UNESCO e insere-se nos
Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 4 (Educação de Qualidade), 6
(Água potável e Saneamento), 12 (Produção e Consumo Sustentáveis), 13
(Ação Climática) e 14 (Proteger a Vida Marinha) da Agenda 2030. O curso
fornecerá conhecimentos e ferramentas para a sala de aula que fomentam o
pensamento crítico e compreensão sobre o oceano, aumentam a consciência
sobre a nossa relação diária com o oceano e os nossos comportamentos
que impactam a sustentabilidade do oceano. Pretende-se que as
