TRASH TALK IN ACTION

Short description of the action

Trash talk in action is a transboundary initiative born from a private collaboration with Martina, a marine biologist based in Italy and Kelvin and environmental activist and artist based in Kenya. With this initiative we'd like to share our knowledge to reach also the less lucky community of Mombasa slums. We are focusing our effort on the Ocean Literacy mission, we are already endorsed by the UN Decade as a Decade Action and we organized a series of playing session with some children from Ng'Arisha youth center. We activated a crowdfunding campaign and at the end of this crowdfunding we'd like to record a compilation of music played using some homemade instruments obtained from plastic wastes. Day by day we'll focus on the marine ecosystems which are relevant for the coastal communities trying to find comparisons and contact points between Med Sea and Indian Ocean. We want to make the Mission Restore an example to be shared also beyond he EU dimension.
