The Ocean Project is running a free 4-week virtual Advocacy Training designed for youth around the world who are looking to make a positive impact.
The training content will build upon and refine existing advocacy skills and encourage strengthened collaborative conservation action - locally, nationally, and globally. Participants will have the opportunity to talk with experts, network and collaborate with their peers, and develop a strong foundation for all their future advocacy efforts. The content of the training was developed in collaboration with experienced ocean climate advocacy leaders and the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council. Topics covered will include conservation policy, campaign organizing, social media & communications, and event planning & fundraising.
