Our Wavemakers programme is for 16–25-year-olds and aims to empower them to make a difference to our Ocean using their own skills and values. By positively engaging young people, we aim to foster a sense of agency, leading to tangible behavioural changes and a desire for collective action.
As part of MMU’s “Future Me” week, we will deliver the full suite of Wavemaker workshops, hosted by Manchester Fashion Institute.
