Do You Love The Sea?

Reflecting on their involvement in ‘Bridging Cultures: International Dialogues for Environmental Justice through Socially Engaged Arts Practice’, the Ocean City Influencers produced this video. In it, they share their learning, thoughts, questions and interpretations of the Calls to Action generated by their involvement in this international artwork, using their voice and creative vision to engage other young people in climate activism. Ocean City Influencers is a group of 10-17-year-olds using creativity to explore ocean activism and climate justice, and is funded by The Ernest Cook Trust, South West Water and Sovereign Housing. Bridging Cultures is supported by the British Council’s Connections Through Culture grant programme. With thanks to partners, the East End Development Trust, Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, The Ocean Conservation Trust and Plymouth City Council/Forest Rising.
