Learning Scenario Template

The creation and submission of a Learning Scenario on ocean-related topic(s) is one of the requirements to complete
the course and be awarded a certificate of participation to the MOOC. The primary goal of this activity is to help you
integrate what you have learnt in the last weeks into a comprehensive Learning Scenario, which can serve as a solid
basis to prepare your application for the European Blue School certification. Make sure to plan your lesson well, so
it can be connected to the Find the Blue challenge and become an impactful blue project!
