?? Web2Learn’s successful contribution to the Lemnos Marine Conservation campaign

In a harsh reality for the survival of our #marine #ecosystems, any #action towards their #safeguarding provides critical support and “breath” to our #seas and their living creatures!

??Continuing our #participatory #environmental #actions in the remote Greek island of Lemnos (https://tinyurl.com/3hddh85w), this time Web2Learn is proudly contributing to the success of a special initiative set up by the Lemnos Marine Conservation (LMC, https://lemnosmarineconservation.org/) team.

LMC, in collaboration with its supporters and the Archipelagos, Institute of Marine Conservation (https://archipelago.gr/), has designed a special mission to protect Lemno’s seagrass! In November 2024, the Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation will visit Lemnos with the research vessel “Triton” for a mission that aims to protect the unique marine biodiversity of the island.

?? Web2Learn’s successful contribution and next steps

A. The crowdfunding campaign

Our Web2Learn team, under the leadership of Katerina Zourou , engaged actively in the dissemination and communication of the LMC #crowdfunding #campaign that aimed to gather 30.000 euros for the #expedition. Answering immediately to the call, our team, thanks to our talented graphic designers, Klairi Fragiadaki and Aspasia Kralli , created a user-attractive website (https://lemnosmarineconservation.org/), an instagram account (@lemnosmarineconservation), flyers, posters and stands that were spread all over the city of Myrina and the island of Lemnos!

The result? The #campaign was successfully completed with over 38.000 euros collected (https://tinyurl.com/yc7n8pa9) and the “Triton” vessel is set to reach Lemnos’ shores on the 16th of November 2024!

B. Upcoming citizen science actions with schools in Lemnos

Beyond our successful and ongoing communication activities for the expedition, we are particularly proud to carry out a series of #citizen #science #actions in collaboration with #students and #teachers of #elementary and #secondary schools of Lemnos, as part of the #educational and #scientific component of the expedition!?

Thanks to our immediate action taking, more than 11 schools in the towns of Myrina, Moudros, Livadohori, Kaspakas and Kontias, have accepted to be part of this #participatory an hands-on #learning #experience that aims to bring long-lasting benefits both to Lemnos’ marine ecosystem and its inhabitants!
