THE TEAM

Students and graduates with a common goal to push our limits for mental health and ocean conservation.
We want to demonstrate the power of teamwork and determination in order collectively advocate for mental health alongside our partnered charities in the Netherlands and Ireland.

At the same time, we want to promote citizen science by collecting our own ocean data. This will be used to provide ground-truth validation for a student-run organisation that has developed an AI-powered ocean monitoring tool for local coastal communities.

The Ocean Race Learning Logo
The Ocean Race Learning program aims to educate and inspire children about the importance of a healthy ocean and empowering them to make positive changes to support the seas.
As a team, we are passionate about promoting ocean literacy and raising awareness about the importance of marine conservation. We are inspired by the engaging learning programs provided by The Ocean Race, which are suitable for schools, at-home learning, community and youth groups, and sailing clubs. Their programs support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 14 Life Below Water, which aligns with our goal of mobilizing marine conservation efforts for healthier oceans. We support their efforts to empower children and youth to make changes that support our seas and promote ocean literacy for a healthier planet.
