Collecting visitors’ opinions: exhibit
Virtual aquarium
It is used after the talks with
experts as a kind of concept

It’s a fun way of leaving
messages, but more fun writing

Obviously exhibitions alone cannot change things…
What we can do to help:
• Engaging students in taking part to school
projects
• Engaging students in citizens science projects
• Engaging students in volunteering for
environment
What we do in our exhibition area
• Creating an local platform to access to Citizen
science projects in europe
• Linking schools to marine science projects
• Hosting researchers and scientists wanting to
engage students
• Give prizes for the best projects
