Future collaboration
Our project will end at the end of the school year. The collaboration among project partners has been fruitful and smooth. A good option to continue with our collaboration with teachers and students is the schools joining the BSP network. The UNESCO Baltic Sea Project (BSP) is an international network and a part of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet). Schools and all partners in the BSP are working together to build a sustainable future according to the United Nations’s Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The BSP stands for global citizenship education, a culture of peace and non-violence, sustainable development goals, sustainable lifestyles and wishes to enhance intercultural learning with the appreciation of cultural diversity and heritage in all the countries in the Baltic Sea region. The BSP offers various activities for approximately 200 schools around the Baltic Sea.

The Baltic Sea Video Challenge
During the online meeting, the project coordinator introduced The Baltic Sea Video Challenge activity which be launched in January 2026. All partner schools will be invited to participate in the video challenge. The Baltic Sea Video Challenge encourages educators and students across the Baltic Sea region to showcase the life of their local waterfront – marine or freshwater – by creating a short video (2–3 minutes) and sharing it via an educational platform. The videos will form the basis of lectures, in which scientists explain the regional characteristics of the Baltic Sea. Invite other students to visit your unique shoreline!
