Speakers at the Erasmus Marie Conference 2023 in Valencia

When most of Team Malizia is busy with the last Transat Jacques Vabre preparations in Le Havre, it doesn’t mean that everything else in our campaign is put on hold: Our education manager Els went to the first Erasmus Maris conference in Valencia to discuss synergies between Team Malizia’s My Ocean Challenge programme and other great initiatives for Ocean Literacy.

During a drawing activity, the children were asked to be creative and show what a healthy coral would look like to them.
