WELCOME TO YOUTH OCEAN CARNIVAL

Australia’s first-ever Youth Ocean Carnival (YOC) event is set to be held in Sydney on the 5th of June 2024. This exciting youth event will bring together dynamic ‘thought leaders’, creatives, academics & environmental organisations at a time of unparalleled focus on the UN 30x30 Pledge - To protect and restore 30% of land and ocean by 2030.

World Ocean Day, Youth Advisory Council members have joined CollaborOCEANS Founder Timothy Johnston in delivering this dynamic ‘peer-to-peer’ Carnival Ocean Workshop. Olympic Diver Sam Fricker, Kal Glanznig Environment Citizen for Sutherland Shire 2023 and present Australian representative Sophia Skarparis. Each have an impressive personal story of conservation that shows young people that they can make an impact whilst at school and beyond.

VISION
