Horizon Educatief vzw
About us
Horizon Educatief vzw, brimming with passion for the sea since 1995, is an educational operation on the Ostend coast.
Horizon Educatief wants to make people crazy about the sea. All our activities have an educational background, which we present in a playful and experience-oriented way. No boring monologues here, but our animators take you into a world full of fantasy and experience. It is important for us to discover things for yourself, with all your senses on edge. We give you a real taste of the wealth our coast has to offer.
The sea runs like a blue thread through our offer. We work around the pillars of nature/environment and coastal heritage. Renewable energy, plastic soup, climate, biodiversity, fishing or maritime professions are just a few of the topics of our sessions.
Are you looking for a playful, educational interpretation for your maritime classes or your excursion? Do you want to do an original trip with your family or group of friends? Are you also crazy about the sea and do you like going on camp? It is all possible with us! All our activiteiten activities, you will find them on our site. We also work on request. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any ideas. We will gladly help you.
