Show Notes

In this eighth episode of ''If Oceans Could Speak'', we are delighted to have Lisa Sofian and Nabil Aouad with us, who show that arts, sports and ocean activism go hand in hand.

In this episode you will learn about the Sustainable Waste Intercity Marathon’s creation (SWIM), and its development into a nation wide beach cleaning campaign, bringing together - almost spontaneously - over 2700 people from local communities, researchers, activists, civil society, and more! In addition to their sports activities, SWIM is combining their efforts with “Chance Association” which works closely with kids that have cancer and blood disorders, in order to raise awareness about the importance of a healthy environment for us humans as well! Follow these inspiring stories, and concrete results, in this Arabic episode moderated by Vera.
