The two sites share the same ocean-focused project and invite participation from pupils, families, teachers, and staff. The school joined the network of European blue schools last academic year, launching an awareness project on the Berkendael site. This year's activities are designed to engage most students and include families, with events, exhibitions, and guest talks across language sections. Planned activities include the April 2022 launch event 'Here begins the sea,' an interview with Thomas Lesage, meetings with authors and oceanographers, a jellyfish mobiles competition, and exhibitions by WWF and Greenpeace, culminating in a World Oceans Day conference and related online events on June 7–8, 2022.
