Sea Teach is now widening the reach of the BlueGeneration Project to new areas on the Spanish Mainland.

The Blue Generation Project is very well established in the Balearic Islands and has created a multitude of activities, including presentations in form of promotional visits, mentoring sessions, group visits to maritime companies and installations, workshops, and conferences.

This offer will now be also available to interested schools, NGOs, colleges, and other youth organisations. The first big success was an online presentation about opportunities of training and employment in the Blue Economy to 170 youths from Catalunya.

The Fundación Intermedia gathered 11 groups of youth that are being supported to find employment in different parts of Catalunya who all connected to the presentation and had the chance of interacting in form of chat comments, questions and leaving their email contact for further mentoring.
