One Ocean Foundation Summit Young, 2024 Edition.

The fourth edition of the event dedicated to the ocean for younger generations is back!

OCEAN’S POSSIBILITIES
Teatro Franco Parenti, Milan
November 28th, 2024

The 2024 edition aims to inspire younger generations to discover the endless opportunities the ocean can offer for the future. Through a series of testimonials, we will explore how the sea can be a source of innovation and growth, ranging from the emerging blue economy sector to sports, cinema, art, and science.

The goal is to stimulate creative and practical thinking about the ocean’s potential, so that young people can imagine and build a sustainable future where the health of the sea becomes a driving force for development and inspiration.

Teatro Franco Parenti

As part of its educational projects, One Ocean Foundation organized the third edition of the One Ocean Summit - YOUNG, an opportunity for young people to learn, compare and orient themselves in order to raise awareness of the value of the sea to their lives.

The main topic of this year's event was "Water Pathways": through a series of testimonies we traced the adventure of water and how it is important to have an overview of this element in order to better understand the issues that undermine the health of marine ecosystems.

Premio Donnambiente

On the occasion of the second edition of the One Ocean Summit Young, the Foundation hosted the seventh edition of the "DonnAmbiente" Award, an award conceived by 5 Terre Academy and dedicated to the enhancement of women who make science and environmental popularization their work. 

This year's awardee was Federica Gasbarro, biologist, activist, "green influencer" who received the prestigious award precisely for her ability to dialogue with the younger generation by always characterizing her speeches with precise and rigorous scientific information.
