SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION PROGRAMMME
World Sailing, in partnership with the World Sailing Trust and 11th Hour Racing, have released a Sustainability Education Programme, developed with The Ocean Race, for sailing clubs and parents as part of its Agenda 2030 – sailing’s commitment to global sustainability.
As the Royal Yachting Association’s environmental awareness programme, The Green Blue welcomes the addition of these new resources to our existing range of educational activities for young boaters.
The materials will ensure the next generation of sailors learn about wider environmental issues that can affect the sport as well as those areas where the sport can make a positive impact. The theme throughout is combining key sailing terminology with environmental issues whilst learning about some of the exciting events and boats in the sport that can inspire the next generation of sailors.
The Sustainability Education Programme resources are free to use and are broken down into six topics, each comprising of a booklet, trainer’s guide and worksheets for age groups 6-8, 8-10 and 10-12.
Topics include:
- 1. Race with World Sailing, learn about different kinds of events and boats
- 2. Resources & Climate Change
- 3. Navigating Wildlife & Biodiversity
- 4. Reducing Waste
- 5. Oil & Fuel
- 6. Boat Cleaning & Maintenance
