Brazil has one of the longest coastlines, and more than 80% of the population lives in the coastal zone. Still, little is discussed about the Ocean in schools, universities and communities, except among the ones who work with ocean conservation. SOA Brasil seeks to fill this gap and produce introductory and explicative webinars, all openly available on Youtube, in order to increase ocean awareness and communication, and call to action. A series of 12 webinars will target young citizens (13-25yrs) concerned about the ocean, but that often lack information about the complexity of the problems and how they can engage.

Today, the Belarusian government considers actions that help achieve SDG14 to be irrelevant for the country, since Belarus has no access to the sea. However, young people disagree and do consider the challenge of protecting the ocean environment to be relevant for Belarus (MyWorld, 2020). As part of the Youth Initiative for Sustainable Development, we hold 5 informal lessons in 5 districts of the Minsk region (Belarus), which tell young people aged 14-20 about the problem of pollution of the world’s ocean. The final interactive event in Minsk is conducted in the Global Jam format, where young people come together and develop projects and solutions to the problems in Belarus pertaining to SDG 14.
