Meet Nordic Ocean Watch team member Giovanna Albani at Climate Sailing in Holbæk 29th of April 2023 at 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 pm
Organised by Ung Holbæk, Lucerna - Uddannelses, kultur og iværksætterhus, and Søfart og Maritime Håndværk, Nationalmuset, Climate Sailing helps to investigate and focus on what we as individual citizens and the municipality can actually do for our local environment, and what significance it can have in the big picture. It is an event about the marine ecosystem and creating awareness about Isefjord marine environmental status! There are going to be different stands and workshops about seaweed and marine ecosystem between those you will find Giovanna! Giovanna is an oceanographer and cleanup coordinator at Nordic Ocean Watch Denmark and she will have a stand and workshop at the event to talk about marine pollution in the environment!
The stand will be an interactive space open to the public, visiting the event. The idea is to invite people and children to connect with organic material such as seaweed from Isefjord and objects collected along the coastline. These elements will be used to weave an actual picture of the coastal-marine ecosystem. Indeed, the public will be invited to create their own pattern and design using the materials available (seaweed, plastic, string, threat). Once completed they can bring it home or continue to work on it.The idea comes to develop a social and personal awareness of our surroundings, especially the marine ecosystem and the impact that we have on it.
The event is free of charge and do not require registration.
