Story

This project aim is to introduce and develop young marine conservations from under-resourced townships. Often young people living close to the ocean but under their national poverty line have never even seen the ocean. Our project aims to engage 80,000 young people a year in ocean conservation and work to create youth ambassadors to help save our ocean by engaging their wider communityty. The youth voice is strong, let's help educate it to save our beautiful blue ocean.

Impact

This project is the start of introducing the awareness of marine conservation. We aim to inspire the youths to take action and even look to follow a career in conservation. Workshops, an additional trip into the Aquarium and other marine educational centres will be funded and access to internships will be made available to students who have shown a passion for the work. Creating awareness and providing education allows us to produce ambassadors for change

Challenge

Oceans in Motion is the local flagship outreach programme run in Cape Town. Oceans in Motion aims to capture the hearts and minds the children of under-resourced schools around Cape Town who can't afford to visit local marine education centres such as the Aquarium. The organisation's people-centred approach to changing human behaviour as a means of combatting the effects of climate change reached 53,329 children in 2018.
