In this episode, Katie and Tahira speak to Kavina Upadhyay and Matt Hallsworth from Ocean Generation, a charity which aims to empower an inclusive global movement to tackle ocean threats through science and storytelling. They run UNESCO-endorsed engagement programmes for young people and have a youth programme for 3 – 25-year-olds to introduce young people to the importance of the Ocean, educate them about the ways we impact it and empower them with tools they can use to take action.

In this episode, we speak about:

• Translating complex ocean science into engaging content for children
• Ocean Generation's UNESCO endorsed programme
• Practical actions you can take to look after our oceans
• The award-winning documentary "A Plastic Ocean"
• A play-based app in partnership with Earth Cubs
• Positive climate and ocean news
• How to deliver ocean lessons in school in an engaging way
