HOLAS to All online workshop

HELCOM is looking for your help in shaping our future communication efforts and how we can include a wider part of society in our mission to save the Baltic Sea.

We are excited to introduce the HOLAS for All project at HELCOM! Funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers, aims to expand our communication efforts and enhance ocean literacy and awareness, with a focus on the findings of the HOLAS 3 report. This project is designed to engage policymakers, scientists, the public and youth/children, with tailored messages to ensure the most effective outreach for each audience. 

To kick off this project, we would like to invite you to participate in our online workshop. This session aims to gain feedback from a diverse network of people on Baltic Sea issues. The feedback will then be used to help shape future communication efforts at HELCOM.
