Under the direction of Tomma Schröder and Katja Trippel and in collaboration with renowned science journalists, the research project “Future North Sea and Baltic Sea – how our seas are changing” produced 12 articles that take a broad look at the seas on our doorstep.
Building on the success of these camps and the participants’ desire to experience more camps and learn about other marine ecosystems, the foundation has developed the OceanCamps Sweden pilot project in 2025.
In 2025, the weekend took place on Schönberg beach, right by the Baltic Sea. With around 50 participants from previous years’ camps, we continued to work on existing projects and develop new project ideas.
As part of our ‘Learning from the sea’ lecture series, we invite you to gain in-depth insights into the diverse ecological, social and economic aspects that shape our seas and oceans today and at the same time to learn from processes within the sea itself.
