Screening of the Film 'Microplastic Story: The 2050 We Create' & Marine Conservation Workshop!

The UNESCO Asia Cultural Centre (ACCU) will hold the 'Connect to the Future Ocean: Sustaining Our Oceans Marine Day Event 2026' as part of its marine conservation education project (Sustaining Our Oceans Project).

This event will use film screenings, panel discussions, and workshops to allow participants to learn about familiar and important themes such as marine debris and environmental conservation while thinking about actions they can take.

Those interested in the ocean and environmental issues are welcome, as well as those who have not had many opportunities to engage with these topics before.

This is a valuable opportunity that can also connect to inquiry-based learning and SDGs initiatives at school. Please join us!
