From October 2024 to March 2025, a group of young people from Plymouth came together to form the Ocean City Influencers, a programme developed in collaboration with Take A Part, to explore their connection with the ocean, climate justice, and environmental activism. Over the first five months, these young changemakers collaborated with local and national artists through dance, photography, film, drawing, and animation, building confidence and finding new ways to express their voices. Together, they’ve tackled big ideas like ocean literacy, climate change, and blue space access, creating a unique digital platform to amplify their message. This film captures the heart of their journey — from early workshops to the exciting build-up of their first public exhibition at KARST Gallery. Witness how creativity, collaboration, and care for the planet can empower a generation to make waves that matter. 🌟 The journey doesn’t stop here — the Ocean City Influencers will continue their work throughout 2025, growing their creative platform and deepening their presence within Plymouth Sound National Marine Park. This is just the beginning of a bold and brilliant movement led by young people.
