Surfrider Eurocean’s Youth
/in NewsSurfrider Foundation Europe is launching a Call for the Ocean to create a network of European ambassadors for the maritime world and will recruit 120 young Europeans from all EU Member States.
Women, men, sailors and neophytes will be trained and put in contact with experts on these two topics: shipping and jobs related to the sea. They will create a maritime network and develop a vision of the maritime world’s future during high-ranking events in 2022 (UN Ocean Conference, World Ocean Day, Ocean Decade Activity in the framework of the Ocean Decade launched by UNESCO, European Maritime Day…).
The network will meet during an immersive week with cultural exchange and experiments in La Rochelle, France, in February 2022. This week will be fully organised and covered by Surfrider Europe in collaboration with the French Ministry of the Sea and the municipality of La Rochelle.
With some Austrian candidates missing, you can still apply to become an ambassador. Find out more here.

The next training date for pupils, students and apprentices is 22 November, 19:30 CET. Registration is mandatory, so make sure to sign up!
PBM#2 Report
/in NewsDuring each board term, the Board of EYP Austria meets several times to discuss important matters in person, with the Advisory Board also typically attending to some degree for guidance. Last weekend, the Board had its second “Physical Board Meeting” (PBM), this time in a digital format.
As with all PBMs, a report has been compiled to inform our Members of the subjects talked about there, as well as the results of modules that will have a concrete impact on the organisation. So make sure to check out the report of PBM#2 to get an insight into the happenings of the Board and EYP Austria at large! Most notably, the Board identified to-dos in line with our National Strategy, discussed the sharing of responsibilities surrounding our National Session Vienna 2022, made plans to bring this year’s guiding value “Mehrwert” to fruition, and deliberated on the cooperation with our upcoming sessions and their Head-Organisers.
Call for (a) Digital Session Head-Organiser(s)
