#1 PLENTY OF FISH
IN THE SEA?
The unseen biodiversity crisis and ways to solve it
You always hear the saying: There’s plenty of fish in the sea. But just like with dating, you’re beginning to wonder if the saying is actually true. In this theme, we’ll be working with the biodiversity crisis, the disappearance of ocean-living species and the loss of ocean habitats. We’ll also give solving this crisis a go; You’ll be engaged in discussions on and activities of habitat restoration, but not before having a proper meet ‘n’ greet with the wonderful oceanic life that we’re aiming to protect.
Theme available on day 3.
#2 KEEPING AARHUS ABOVE WATER
Flood Resilience Management and Urban Development
Teaser: Fancy an underwater house? Maybe an ocean view under your bed? Maybe not Hilton standards, but it is the reality for people of Cape Verde. Flooding is a consequence of climate changes, which has very real effects on people’s homes. Using Aarhus as a case study, we would like to invite you to explore three zones threatened by flooding. Through these cases we will find creative and crazy flooding resilience solutions. Help us to keep the Ocean view where it should be - the other side of the window.
Theme available on day 2.

And how to find them!
Do you sometimes think about what people will eat in the future? Well, the future is now, and there are many delicious and sustainable resources in the ocean waiting to be discovered.

#5 GIVING VOICE TO THE OCEAN
Through culture and creativity
The ocean needs rescuing. But waves don’t exactly speak. So how do we speak up on its behalf? Join us and spend the day exploring how to give voice to the ocean through culture and creativity. We’ll hear an artist talk as well as experience the performative theatre play 'One for the sea' focusing on the ocean and its challenges, and finally, we’ll reflect on the potential possibilities of expressing issues through creative and cultural exhibitions, artistic pop-ups, sculptures and so forth. Sea you there! 🌊🌊🌊
