Wavemaker Programme

For the next generation to protect Earth's most precious ecosystem, it must first understand its importance.

41% of all people in the world today are 24 or younger. Therefore, investing in education is critical to ensuring a sustainable future. At Ocean Generation we look beyond the problem, and work beyond cleaning up – we are focusing on solutions and individual empowerment.

Our Wavemaker programme:

Our Wavemaker programme supports the development of young people by giving them the tools to make positive change on a local & global level. Through our Deep Currents workshops, masterclasses, mentorship, and personal development, our Wavemaker programme accelerates social action, incubates innovation, and facilitates green career opportunities.

How do we do this?

Accelerating social action:

Our workshops are designed to educate young people on Ocean threats, inspire action and build a road map to develop real world solutions or make lasting commitments to impact.

Incubating innovation:

We incubate passionate Wavemakers through mentorship, masterclasses, concept development and a suite of tools and resources designed to accelerate global activism.

Facilitating futures:

We facilitate long-term commitment to change through our work for good partnerships with partners such as global recruitment agency, ACRE. Supporting young people to create change through their work.

What are the Deep Currents workshops?

Our Deep Currents workshop empowers young people between 16-25 years old to recognise their skills and equip them with the tools they need to use their voice and talents to restore the health of the Ocean and our planet.

We are galvanising a group of young people – Wavemakers - who can generate change in themselves, in the people around them and at societal level.

We use accessible mediums to reach young people all around the world and inform them about the Ocean and the human threats it faces and facilitate them to take action.
