SEASTAINABILITY

The Oceanário de Lisboa new corporate programme - SEASTAINABILITY – BLUE IS THE NEW GREEN - shows that the path for sustainable development demands a transformation in core values, attitudes and ways of thinking and acting. We can do differently, challenge the status quo, and take the missing step to bridge the gap between the will to act and the skills to do so.

SUSTAINABILITY

Workshop

This is not an eco&bio workshop, not a formation about slow fashion or zero waste, nor a cooking class based on organic, local, or seasonal products. We do not intend to transform you into a sustainability expert, but rather challenge you to reflect and to discover new ways of acting that have a smaller impact on the environment. Through enriching experiences, in an informal context of sharing knowledge, know-how and examples, we urge you to take the first steps towards sustainability. The goal is to create a movement of (im)perfect environmentalists who will contribute in a tangible and concrete way to a healthier planet.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Workshop

This workshop aims not only to measure the temperature of the planet, but also to evaluate the consequences of climate change and understand how the ocean regulates and influences the Earth´s climate. Knowing the most recent findings on climate change and, more importantly, the strategies and solutions to adapt ourselves to climate-related risks and natural disasters are the goals of this course. Participants will be involved in a debate of ideas that will trigger a wave of behavioural change. Understanding that the ocean is the linchpin is the first step.

MARINE LITTER

Workshop

Nowadays, the issue of plastics in the ocean weighs about fourteen million tons a year. Although plastic has a wide variety of uses, it is important to raise awareness of its unregulated use and impact on the planet and humanity. More than anything, it is urgent to change our relationship with this material. In addition to raising awareness, this course includes several activities, creative tools and practical and sustainable tips that promote behavioural changes and seek to minimize and change the route of this plastic scourge.

BEACH CLEAN-UP

Teambuilding

Most of the plastic in the ocean is found near the shore. Take part in a unique experience that encourages teamwork, strengthens team spirit, and challenges your resilience. Clean-up actions are an essential part of tackling marine litter. Although they do not tackle the issue directly at the source, they are a powerful awareness-raising tool. They enable us to recover some of the litter that has reached the marine environment or to prevent it from reaching the ocean, when carried out in rivers or other waterways.

FROM WASTE TO TASTE

Teambuilding

In this activity we propose a new economic model, where we add 36 tonnes of coffee grounds, add 12 tonnes of mushrooms, and absorb more carbon than 1148 trees. Learn more about the circular economy, while producing fresh and organic mushrooms from coffee grounds. In the end, in addition to a mushroom tasting, you will receive a set that will allow you to taste a more sustainable and waste-free future.

DOLPHIN WATCHING

Teambuilding

Discover iconic species, such as dolphins and take part in a challenge that will allow you to learn about biodiversity and get involved in protecting marine ecosystems. Ocean conservation begins when we uncover it. For this reason, it is crucial to «dive» into nature, to forge and emotional attachment to the sea, to mobilise ourselves in favour of a more sustainable future.

SEASTAINABILITY CHALLENGE

Teambuilding (peddy-paper)

Challenge your will to change and dive into the world of sustainability surrounded by more than 500 marine species. It's simple, in teams, complete the challenges that show you the way to environmental balance while contemplating the exhibition and answering questions about resident species and the threats that compromise their habitat. In the end, leave with stronger team bonds and an enriched notion about the importance of seastainability.
