Ocean film tour vol 11 - 1st April 2025
Ahoy YoungShippers!
Humans don’t live in the ocean, yet water continues to fascinate us. Whether in competition, adventure, or scientific research, the ocean is a place where extraordinary connections emerge—between humans and even between humans and animals. You never know what surprises the ocean still holds—perhaps even groundbreaking alternatives for a plastic-free future.
Youngship Belgium would like to invite you to join the International Ocean film tour. We believe that every Youngshipper shoud be reflective on the special connection that humans have with oceans, and our duty to understand and preserve.
Plan is to gather with other Youngshippers, watch the amazing films, and have a drink at the end to catch-up and comment the film.
See here below the highlights of the films to see...
