PREP4BLUE has just completed its first webinar series on citizen engagement titled “Planning for Citizen Participation in Mission Ocean & Waters”. With over 500 participants registered, the series was a great way to launch the first of many webinars planned within the PREP4BLUE project.
The four sessions explore a range of different topics to support participants in the design of a project, work package, or programme of activities in alignment with the citizen engagement targets of the EU Mission: Restore Our Ocean and Waters By 2030. The webinars are packed full of practical examples and guidance on where to access further resources.
The European Commission’s ambition in relation to citizen engagement with Mission Ocean falls under a handful of clear themes. Each of the webinars in this series is structured around one of these themes. Overall, the series equips the audience with the knowledge required to orient project proposals and restoration, anti-pollution, and other related activities towards the Mission’s targets in relation to citizen engagement.
The webinar series will be of interest to anyone applying for Mission Ocean funding under Horizon Europe. It will also be of interest to current Mission-funded projects, as well as those working on citizen engagement in marine and freshwater-related activities across the NGO, industry, research, community, citizen science groups, and local government sectors.
