Venue: Online / Paris
Visit website

Event Date: 27/11/2025 - 28/11/2025

The Franco-British Youth Ocean Conference (27-28 November 2025) invites S4-S5 French learners to participate in a fully funded environmental initiative.

Five Scottish schools will send 6 pupils and 2 teachers each to collaborate with French peers in a COP simulation focused on ocean sustainability. This exciting opportunity - part of France's "Year of the Sea" - allows pupils to enhance language skills while tackling marine environmental challenges through international collaboration. The programme includes pre-event webinars, a conference in Paris, plus the chance to develop lasting school partnerships.

Applications welcome from all Scottish secondary schools, particularly those in coastal communities.

Visit the website for more information and to express interest by 4 June.
