Waves of Action, the youth initiative of the Okeanos Foundation for the Sea hosts so-called OceanCamps for young adults aged 16-21.
We host OceanCamps in France, on a traditional Polynesian catamaran in the Pelagos Marine Protected Area, as well as in Sweden on a multi-day kayak-trip and a base on the west coast situated within a Natura 2000 reserve. During these camps, we offer the opportunity to connect to the ocean, experience it, and fall in love with it. Through transformative learning participants in camps gather insight and knowledge about marine ecology, inner development, and sustainable development and are encouraged to discover their individual strengths to become active for marine conservation and our planet within a supportive and growing community.
