This book explores the educational dimension of people’s engagement
with the ocean. Across formal, informal, and nonformal learning
contexts, it examines how experiences of the ocean and ‘blue
spaces’ help us to understand ourselves, others, and our place
within the natural environment, and the place of the ocean in our
sociocultural and political life. Drawing on creative projects from
around the world, the book introduces topics as diverse as ocean
sailing, migrants’ experiences of learning to surf, experiencing
seascapes through sounds, and the importance of fostering connections
with the sea. It provides examples of innovative teaching and learning
practices, and the pedagogical possibilities that engagement with the
ocean offers to outdoor studies scholars and practitioners in terms of
education, and the enhancement of our well-being and the environment.
This is fascinating reading for advanced students, researchers,
teachers, and educational practitioners with an interest in outdoor
studies, experiential and outdoor learning, leisure and recreation
studies, environmental studies, or geography.
