The Blue Circle project aims to identify and map opportunities in the Sustainable Blue Economy for Vocational Education and Training (VET), and raise awareness of these opportunities among teachers/trainers and students/trainees through gamification.

The project also includes the creation of a pilot laboratory of ideas (think-tank) on Sustainable Blue Economy, which will contribute to the identification and mapping of opportunities for VET, and the adaptation to the Blue Economy of a matrix and self-assessment tool for circular competences (Circular Economy).
