This Educational Kit, produced by the UNESCO National Commission in collaboration with UNESCO, the International Centre for Coastal Eco-Hydrology of UNESCO (ICCE) and the FCSH-UNL Centro de História de Além-Mar (CHAM), is a teaching manual for teachers. It is to be used in the classroom, in a crosscutting approach, suggesting activities to be developed by the students. These may be adapted and modified according to the local context and the needs of each school and each country. The Kit’s main objective is to raise awareness to the contents of the 2001 Convention and it challenges teachers and students to create projects and good practices in the preservation of the underwater cultural heritage. The underwater cultural heritage should therefore be regarded as an integral part of the cultural heritage of humanity and an immensely important element in the reconstitution of the past.
