Champions for the Sea is The Ocean Race’s award-winning learning programme, which introduces children to the wonder and excitement of the adrenaline-packed sport and the importance of looking after our incredible blue planet. 

Suitable for 6-12 year olds, the free, engaging resources can be used in school, for at home learning or within the community.

The course takes children on a journey through the history of the Race, exploring the boats, teams and route, before explaining our connection with the ocean and the issue of plastic pollution and how we can tackle it.
