PRADA GROUP PRESENTS THE SECOND EDITION OF SEA BEYOND, THE EDUCATIONAL PROGAMME ON OCEAN PRESERVATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IOC-UNESCO “From the Ocean we have to the Ocean we want”

Today, on the occasion of the World Oceans Day, Prada Group and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, project office of the Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe, announce the launch of the second edition of SEA BEYOND, a tailor-made educational programme dedicated to ocean preservation and sustainability, originally debuted in 2019. Given the success of the first edition and with the intention of linking the project to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, officially started in January 2021, the programme will be enriched with global and local initiatives dedicated to all ages.

The aim is to engage the highest number of people in the Ocean Decade through a set of different activities:

· New educational module for secondary school students all around the world;
· A “sustainable challenge” on a global scale for Prada Group’s 13,000 employees;
· The foundation of the first “Kindergarten of the Lagoon” (Asilo della Laguna) in Venice.


“We are very proud of the success of Sea Beyond, stemming from UNESCO’s Oceanographic Commission’s passion to continuing to dedicate every day to the promotion of a more responsible ocean. Today we are pleased to launch a new phase of the project, which plans to address not only students from all over the world but also a wider audience, with the aim of engaging local communities and our employees on a global scale”, said Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Head of Corporate Social Responsibility.
