Millennium Fellowship Project: Changing Ocean:What Should We Change?
My millenium project( CHANGING OCEAN: WHAT SHOULD WE CHANE) aimed at creating awarenss and also equipping people with knowledge and skills on how they could help to save the ocean. In my project, I hosted an event where I invited three experts in the field of ocean.
There were three sessions during the event, the first was on the ocean which includes the significance of the ocean, the role the ocean plays in our world, and many other concepts.
The second was on ocean-related factors. This includes some of the human activities that affect the ocean, such as climate change, and how they are related to the ocean. The third was about how to act. As individuals, organisations, academic institutions, governments, and many others.
I also created a google form to monitor the whole process. At the end of everything, over sixty people registered for the event.
