| The Ocean Connects Us was designed to share and learn from each other about communicating the value of the ocean. After short framing speeches by [[https://gulbenkian.pt/en/the-foundation/our-team/board-of-trustees/martin-essayan-trustee-2010-2015/|Martin Essayan]] and [[https://www.zsl.org/users/heather-koldewey|Heather Koldewey]], the morning began with exchanging past experiences of valuing the ocean, to then observe what is emerging from the participants’ current [[https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1920GDCo4WYSY9KOfUxwIlSpCzGM&ll=10.516256681185387%2C147.7559278499999&z=2|collaborations]]. During and after lunch the participants were invited to visit the [[http://www.trinitybuoywharf.com/whats-on/event/longplayer|Longplayer]] installation in the adjacent lighthouse and have spent time immersed in artworks by [[http://www.marieleneudecker.co.uk/|Mariele Neudecker]], [[http://www2.hull.ac.uk/fass/english/our-staff/clarke,-dr-john.aspx|John Wedgwood-Clarke]] and [[https://robmackay.net/|Rob Mackay]] (curated by [[http://invisibledust.com/|Invisible Dust]]). The afternoon was focused on investigating how to more effectively communicate the value of the ocean, today and in the future. First by hearing from [[http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/staff-and-fellows.html#oneil|Moira O’Neil]] from the [[http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/|Frameworks Institute]] about their report [[https://gulbenkian.pt/uk-branch/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/03/Getting-Below-The-Surface.pdf|Getting Below The Surface]], then by applying the institute's findings as recommendations to concrete projects. The conversation moved towards the future of the sea with a short speech by [[https://foresightprojects.blog.gov.uk/category/sea/|Henry Green]], as an introduction to the last participatory session. The participants distilled insights from the day as questions and principles towards a manifesto for an ocean friendly society. The event continued during an informal reception including speeches by the director of CGF UK [[https://gulbenkian.pt/uk-branch/about-us/team/andrew-barnett/ | The Ocean Connects Us was designed to share and learn from each other about communicating the value of the ocean.
