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

In collaboration with

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.

The event is realized in collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo.

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.

Blue Agents Challenge
THE
FORMAT
We invite students to create a sustainable Blue Business idea, accompanied by a targeted communication campaign to promote it.
THE
TRAINING
Through dedicated materials and webinars organized by One Ocean Foundation and Giffoni, students will be able to deepen their knowledge of the topics and learn communication and video editing techniques.
THE
PRIZE
The three best works will have the chance to become videos and to be presented during the Giffoni Film Festival 2025.

Blue Agents is Intesa Sanpaolo's project in partnership with Giffoni Film Festival, Coming Soon and One Ocean Foundation, aimed to explore and narrate the opportunities and challenges related to our seas.

Participation is open to individual candidates as well as groups of up to 6 students from III, IV e V grades.

The students will turn into real creative and business developers, working in small groups to develop a project work on the Blue Economy theme.  The aim is to conceive a sustainable Blue Business idea, accompanied by a targeted communication campaign to promote it.
The three best projects will have the chance to become videos, thanks to the support of a Giffoni Film Festival troupe that will go to the schools to make them together with the students.
