The Black Sea Young Ambassador (BSYA) Programme was developed to unite youth for the future of the Black Sea, for a healthy, resilient, and sustainable Black Sea, under the Black Sea CONNECT CSA. Black Sea Young Ambassadors are young early career ocean professionals who come from different backgrounds in marine and maritime research, industry, policy, and civil society, and either in educational programmes or in the early stages of their carrier.
Black Sea Young Ambassadors both play an important role in advocating for Blue Growth in the Black Sea and promote the goals of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (Black Sea SRIA). The engagement of the Young Ambassadors enhances the visibility and actions of the Blue Growth Initiative in the Black Sea, will increase the countries’ potential, and spread the output of projects and activities related to the Blue Growth Initiative in the region. The BSYA has brought a novel dynamic to the Black Sea CONNECT CSA, especially in terms of visibility and dissemination efforts.
