ChangeMakers - Innovation thru Education
Season 2, Episode 788, Aug 02, 2023, 11:43 AM
The Changemakers Project with Jasmine Spavieri, Changemakers Project & Expeditions Coordinator.
Join the fight against plastic pollution and become a Changemaker!
We invite students from the Balearic Islands to form teams and develop ideas that can help reduce the use of plastic. By implementing their projects students will help ignite a wave of change in their communities and may get a chance to join Save The Med onboard a research vessel to participate in the study of whales, dolphins, turtles, and plastics in the marine environment together with an experienced research team.
The Changemakers Project has three main parts to it:
1. The Changemakers Project
We invite students from the Balearic Islands to form teams and develop ideas that can help reduce plastic consumption. By implementing their projects students will help ignite a wave of change in their communities, and in April they will submit their projects to Save the Med Foundation.
Students aged 15 - 18 join the standard Changemakers At Sea project, while younger students 8-14 are welcome to participate in the Changemaker Junior Project. While these two separate versions differ in terms of criteria for participation, evaluation, and rewards they are based on the same values and contribute to the common goal of reducing plastic pollution in the Balearics!
Scroll down to find out more about the type of project we're looking for and download the informational leaflet corresponding to your age group to learn more and participate.
2. The Changemakers Exhibit
An event where all teams can come together! Students from all over the islands will get together to present their projects to the public and discuss solutions to plastic pollution. Students will have a chance to view each other's projects, network, learn from each other, inspire, and be inspired. Our team will view the projects and make a final decision before announcing the teams which will receive special rewards!* (*In 2021-2022, due to the pandemic, the event will be adapted to current safety restrictions)
3. Expeditions, excursions, and experiences with Save The Med
Changemakers At Sea (Students aged 15-18)
All participants will receive a Changemakers At Sea diploma. The five teams with the most impactful projects, evaluated by a panel of scientists and educators, will be announced during the Changemakers Exhibit. The teams behind the top two projects will be invited to join us for an unforgettable expedition experience each during the summer. For one week, students will help our scientists study marine life and human activities at sea, all the while gaining knowledge and skills to become true Ocean Ambassadors when they return. The remaining three teams will be invited for a one-day expedition at sea. In addition, the classes of the five teams will be able to use an endowment of 500 euros from the Foundation to invest in an environmental activity, excursion, or project.
