Welcome to World Ocean Day for Schools 2026

Join over 3000 schools across 120 countries around the world on Monday 8th June for a fun day of blue learning with a live assembly, Q&A’s with ocean advocates and lots of activities that you can do in your classroom, at home or at your local blue space.

This year’s World Ocean Day for Schools, we’re exploring blue careers. We want kids to know that, no matter where they live or what skills they have, they can work in ocean conservation. We’ll be introducing them to a crew of amazing individuals around the world who will share their stories, answer questions and hopefully, make kids think: That could be me

Our 2026 lesson plan is available to download for all registered schools
