| Sustainability, how it shows in our project? Sustainability is one of our guiding principle in how we plan, communicate and act in this project. One of our goals is to increase awareness and understanding of sustainable development through concrete actions, education and communication. We believe meaningful impact starts with recognising our responsibilities and defining our goals already in the planning phase. Throughout the project, we aim to turn these commitments into practical choices and encourage others to consider how their actions can contribute to a more sustainable future. During and at the end of the project we will tell you how it went! You can follow our journey on Instagram @balticsea.academy |
