The Vent d'Espoir project lasts 1 week. Over the course of the week, we'll sail from town to town in French Brittany, carrying out concrete actions to raise awareness and protect the marine environment. The actions will take different forms: beach and estuary clean-ups by the Vent d'Espol team, prevention campaigns and meetings with local actors. Our ambition is to carry out concrete actions that make sense locally, hence the importance of making contact with local players.
In particular, we want to meet mayors and deputies to interview them and find out how they are fighting marine pollution at their own scale.
The aim is to raise students' awareness of marine protection issues. Our aim is to show through our actions during the week that it's possible for everyone to take action at their own level, and that everyone has a role to play. We want to give a message of hope for the future, and show that young people are taking action to preserve their environment.
We also want to make a documentary of the project, we have a team of 4 in our association that will focus on that !
