An educational booklet for children
We are proud to support the commitments and initiatives of our skipper Fabrice Amedeo to raise awareness of environmental issues and the energy transition.
Building on the success of the first edition of the education booklet “L’echo des oceans” (The Echo of the Oceans), launched in 2020 with 100,000 copies, a new 64-page version dedicated to ocean preservation and the energy transition is now available.
The aim is to take advantage of the impact of the round-the-world race to convey important ecological impacts and data for tomorrow's citizens, and to enable educational leaders to follow the Vendée Globe with their pupils through the prism of ecology.
“This oceanographic project has been driving me since 2019, and it seemed important to me, beyond this commitment to the scientific community, to raise awareness among the general public but also to talk to children, the citizens of tomorrow”

“The ambition is that teachers, who wish to do so, can follow the Vendée Globe adventure with their classes from the angle of ecology and the preservation of the oceans, with a strong focus on the energy transition”, explains the skipper, pointing out that the oceans conceal a large quantity of energy in various forms (tides, waves, heat, salinity...), and the potential to leverage them. “It's important to change the way we produce and consume energy. The ocean depends on it. It can also contribute to our needs.
Through the pages, the educational content, the scientific points of view, the comic strip and the proposed activities, young readers will learn to discover it and get to know the oceans better”, continues Fabrice, who wants to make the younger generations aware of the fact that the seas and oceans are terribly fragile, but also demonstrate the full diversity of marine energies, whose place will certainly be important in the new era resulting from the energy transition. In short: enable the future generation to take an active part in their learning by thinking critically, while developing their sense and curiosity.
During the Vendée Globe 2024, Fabrice Amedeo will once again place his racing boat at the service of the international scientific community, with the aim of collecting as much data as possible at sea to understand the impact and consequences of global warming and greenhouse gases on the oceans.
