Students will learn about the different qualities and characteristics of the four water personalities and create a small individual flag as a marker of their advocacy and their commitment to caring for our blue space. Each small flag will be stitched together to form four large scale flags built by young people of all ages demonstrating their allegiance with rivers, oceans, wetlands and sea.
Schools can attend one or many of the H2O Embassy(s) workshops.

Diversity is in the interest of all life. Therefore, direct political representation of the sea and the life within it is necessary. The Embassy of the North Sea was founded on the principle that the North Sea owns itself. Here, the voices of plants, animals, microbes, and people in and around the North Sea are listened to and involved. The Embassy has plotted a route through to 2030, firstly learning to listen to the sea before learning to speak with it. Finally, the Embassy will negotiate on behalf of the North Sea and all the life that it encapsulates.
