Nearly 200 students participated in the 30th Sea Week

On April 15th, the closing ceremony will take place at Caló de s’Oli. Throughout its history, nearly 15,000 students have participated in the activity.

The 30th edition of Sea Week has now become history. The last group of students to leave, group A from Es Vedrà school, did so on March 28th at the Club Nàutic Sant Antoni facilities. These students, who came third in the access contest with their mascot 'Martina', enjoyed good weather throughout the week and participated in all the scheduled activities.

On Monday, March 24, they sailed to Cala Bassa, on Tuesday they took the traditional trip to sa Conillera up to the lighthouse, on Wednesday they went to Formentera, on Thursday they visited the Aquarium of Es Cap Blanc, and on Friday they participated in shrimp navigation and an artisanal fishing workshop led by Nico Vallespir. Additionally, they enjoyed an oceanographic scientific workshop on ocean currents.

This year, 10 fifth-grade classrooms from schools across the island participated, totaling 199 students. From the first edition in 1996 to this thirtieth edition, 14,490 students have passed through the Sea Week, half of them as part of the consolation day ‘Un dia a la Mar’. Although the weeks by classrooms have ended, this edition will truly conclude with a special closing event on April 15, to be held at the Auditorio Caló de s’Oli.

Sea Week is a project that is 100% sustainable socially, economically, and environmentally, both in content and form. From a social perspective, it is important to highlight the impact it has on sailing sports and marine environment education, having reached thousands of students. It is also economically sustainable thanks to the sponsorship of institutions and companies. It is supported by CaixaBank, Eroski, Baleària, and Rumbo Norte, along with the Conselleria de Deportes y Juventud del Consell Insular d’Eivissa, the Sant Antoni Town Hall, and the Conselleria de Educación del Govern Balear.

Moreover, its environmental sustainability must be emphasized, as science makes up 80% of the educational content, largely aimed at raising awareness and educating students to care for nature, especially the marine environment in the future.
