#EUBeachCleanup 2022

Join in on the protection of our oceans, and organize your own clean-up event!

Every year in September, the EU, in partnership with the UN and the Smurf, organises an ocean-activism and awareness-raising campaign - #EUBeachCleanup - featuring beach, river banks and various clean-up events across the world.

This year, in celebration of the 2022 European Year of Youth, we are more than ever focusing on how to empower young people to become active in the campaign.
The younger generations can turn activism into societal and policy change, and help protect our oceans, rivers and beaches from plastic pollution.
We’re therefore creating a special kit for students and young people wishing to organize their own event within their universities and communities completely autonomously:
- A “How-To-Guide” will guide you through the logistics of organizing your own cleanup event
- A set of slides will give you a crash-course in the origins of marine litter and how to fight it
- The UN’s mobile app by AWorld will allow you to track your team’s efforts and successes

This will be an opportunity to sharpen your project management skills in a worldwide campaign with EU and the UN.
Help us turn this campaign into a blue wave of change.
