Inspiring youth engagement in the Blue Economy
The Seychelles department of Blue Economy hosted a webinar yesterday, where young ocean advocates and future leaders from the continent had the opportunity to deep-dive into Seychelles’ 10-year Blue Economy journey.
The online event not only showcased Seychelles’ significant progress in the sector, but also offered participants a chance to connect with local leaders, youth champions, and fellow Blue Economy enthusiasts on the continent, as well as exploring career and innovation opportunities in the Blue Economy.
The Blue Economy is a concept that refers to those economic activities that directly or indirectly take place in the ocean, use outputs from the ocean, and put goods and services into ocean’s activities and the contribution of those activities to economic growth, social, cultural and environmental wellbeing.
Seychelles NATION reached out to the department, through director Terence Crea, who highlighted the importance and significance of such activities, and youth involvement in the Blue Economy.
