During this event, our organizations will work together to raise awareness and offer hands-on experiences that address one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges — plastic waste. Our initial focus will be on Raising Awareness and Inspiring Action through engaging discussion and sharing ideas.
Then, we will turn our thoughts to Taking Action, as Plastic Whale lead participants down the canals of Amsterdam collect discarded plastic and clean the waterways. The recovered plastic will then be recycled and transformed into something new, potentially even the boats we sail on during the activity.
These products will serve as a powerful symbol of how discarded waste can be reimagined into valuable, functional resources, Turning Trash to Treasure and protecting our important local environment.
The partnership will provide a Platform to Inspire the young people and educators that participate to take meaningful action, both during and after the event, and to implement this at their own schools, within their own communities and in their own daily lives.
We aim to showcase the Power of Collective Action and creativity, turning pollution into innovation and demonstrating what’s possible when we all come together to address environmental challenges.
It is another great example of the importance of collaboration and working towards a shared mission, as after all, Goal 17: Partnership for the Goals is the of great importance to us achieving all of the other SDG’s.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates.
