SEA BEYOND Ocean Literacy Centre

Opened in 2025 in the Venetian Lagoon, the Centre—by UNESCO-IOC and the Prada Group—offers immersive exhibits and workshops to inspire ocean knowledge and sustainability among youth.

SEA BEYOND Ocean Literacy Centre, a dynamic space in the Venetian Lagoon co-designed by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (UNESCO-IOC) and CRA - Carlo Ratti Associati. Inaugurated in 2025 by the Prada Group and UNESCO-IOC, the centre is dedicated to fostering knowledge and understanding of the ocean, raising awareness of its fundamental role for life on Earth. The initiative is promoted as part of SEA BEYOND, a project by Prada Group conducted in partnership with UNESCO-IOC since 2019 to raise awareness of sustainability and ocean preservation among younger generations. At the Centre you can immerse yourself in exhibitions and interactive workshops that illustrate how tides, currents and climate shape our planet, while discovering the extraordinary biodiversity that populates coastal and marine environments.
