The pilot activities of the FAO - EAF Nansen Project were completed in July 2012. However, the teachers of the participating schools, encouraged by the school inspectors, already set up a plan of action to pursue the original purpose of introducing the ecosystem approach to fisheries in the school teaching programme.
They want to continue to critically use and possibly develop further the teaching aids and the quality and pertinence of teaching. In tune with its own vision, Mundus maris continues to collaborate with them towards consolidating the early results.
This fits well into the national efforts to improve teaching conditions and the relevance of the content taught to prepare all children for active lives as citizens and fully functioning members of society.
