Description
The Oceans are a European goal that can only be reached with the involvement of the whole society and, in particular, young people. The purpose of this project is to promote Ocean literacy, using media that captivates the attention of school age audiences for the importance of marine resources and ecosystems sustainable management. This project will promote scientific curiosity about issues related to the oceans through the use of a media subject - the Wave of Nazareth - to address wave’s physical processes. These processes will be illustrated using the scientific production of animated short films which will be supported by a film narrated and participated by the students. The main project beneficiaries are schoolchildren, particularly secondary school students. Communication via animated short films will also be disseminated to society as a whole.
Summary of project results
One of the challenges in promoting ocean literacy is to capture the attention of the audience. The project "The Wave of Nazareth: a stimulus for learning" was designed with the objective of investigating the potential of using media themes as a stimulus for the learning of scientific themes related to the Oceans. The oceans are a European design that can only be achieved with the involvement of the whole of society and, in particular, young people. The objective of the project "The Wave of Nazareth: a stimulus for learning" was to promote ocean literacy by using media that captivated the attention of the school age audience to the importance of scientific knowledge in the sustainable management of resources and ecosystems marine ecosystems. Within this project a mediatic theme - the Wave of Nazareth - was used to address the physical processes associated with waves. These processes were illustrated using the production of short films of scientific animation that constituted the support of the film "The Wave of Nazareth" narrated and participated by young students of secondary education. Results achieved: 1. Compilation of existing information on the wave of Nazareth 2. Execution of short films of scientific animation on the generation and propagation of waves 3. Elaboration of bilingual script of the film "The Wave of Nazaré" 4. Filming and locution on the processes associated with the wave of Nazareth 5. Development of a website dedicated to the project (
