Ocean Youngsters
A learning platform for marine conservation projects
Realisation of an interactive course for pupils.
gradwerk presents the Ocean Youngsters MOOC, an innovative e-learning platform developed for the Heinrich Böll Foundation Schleswig-Holstein e.V. This platform motivates pupils and schools to take an active role in protecting the oceans by designing and implementing their own projects.
In five comprehensive chapters, the MOOC provides knowledge about marine conservation and guides participants to develop their own project ideas. Each chapter contains videos and interactive elements to deepen learning and encourage reflection.
A central element of the Ocean Youngsters MOOC is the opportunity for school classes to submit their own project ideas. The best ideas can receive financial support of up to €1,000 to realise the projects. This not only promotes commitment, but also the practical implementation of marine conservation measures.

The platform allows course participation to be interrupted at any time. Participants can set a bookmark with their e-mail address to resume the course at the exact point at which they left it. This function takes into account the different life circumstances and schedules of learners and makes the learning process individualised and user-friendly.
The platform also moves with the times by integrating innovative means of communication. The contact form enables users to record and send audio messages directly on the website. This modern form of communication offers a personal and uncomplicated way to give feedback, ask questions or share ideas with the Heinrich Böll Foundation. This function reflects gradwerk's progressive and user-oriented approach to the implementation of digital learning environments and promotes an interactive and dynamic exchange between participants and organisers.
