Are you passionate about the ocean and ready to be part of a European community of young changemakers across Europe?
The Youth4Ocean Forum is open to people aged 16 to 30, based in the EU, who want to improve ocean literacy, contribute to a sustainable blue economy, and take action for healthier seas and coasts.
It brings together young people from diverse backgrounds, education, science, policy, entrepreneurship, arts, communication, civil society, or other relevant areas.
Whether you are just starting your journey or already leading an initiative, the Youth4Ocean Forum offers different ways to get involved, connect with peers, develop your skills and ideas, and showcase your work. No need to be an expert - we are looking for motivation, commitment and a genuine interest in contributing to a stronger ocean community!
