One Humanity Live is an online broadcast for the SDGs to share stories and inspire action towards a more sustainable future. The May 29 broadcast will feature messages from Peace Boat’s 2020 Ocean Youth leaders and introduce Ecoship with a short video and commentary by Emilie McGlone.
EarthX and the National Geographic Society will convene virtually to celebrate World Oceans Week from June 9-11 at EarthX.org. Tune in to watch our Peace Boat Ocean Youth leaders on June 9 from 6 – 6:45 PM during the youth presentations as they share their inspiring work towards sustainable ocean communities. EarthxOcean will bring together cross-disciplinary innovators driving solutions to the most pressing threats facing our oceans. These solutions will be explored through conversations, film screenings and extended reality experiences – highlighting the power of science and storytelling to unlock the impact potential of communities across cultures, generations and ideologies.
Sailing for Change in Oceans Week – Peace Boat’s Ocean Youth Leaders
Peace Boat’s youth leaders who are change-makers in their own communities are invited onboard Peace Boat’s ship through its youth programs where they learn from guest educators on board the ship and from different organizations in the countries the ship visits. These youth leaders are all actively working to protect our ocean, many on small island states that are dependent on the ocean and which are on the front lines of the climate crisis.
Join the session to hear more about their communities’ relationship with the ocean and their experiences sailing with Peace Boat.
