LEARNING FROM LANDSCAPE

Let's revisit the word school, derived from scholé - meaning leisure. 

Let's reconnect leisure to learning,

taking the time to explore, observe and experiment.​

Let's reimagine studios and laboratories,

set in our backyard.​

Let's revive literacy of our landscapes.​

SEA School is a mobile learning centre for Science, Ecology and the Arts.

Based in Dunmore East, Ireland, we convert coves into classrooms all across the sunny south-east. 

 

Through environmental activities, citizen science, field exploration and workshops, SEA School builds community-centric knowledge in coastal and marine systems.
