A network of environmental education centres along the coast and on the islands of the Danish, Dutch and German Wadden Sea regions offers a variety of attractive destinations. Each can offer different activities around nature and landscape, culture and history, as well as national and international protection of the Wadden Sea.
Common principles and standards of environmental education form the basis of all IWSS activities. The participating educational institutions of all Wadden Sea regions meet regularly to exchange experiences and jointly develop new activities and projects.
