Waves of Change – Stewards of the World (SOW Initiative)
Series 1: A Beautiful World for All – Heartistry in Action
“Keep our Islands Clean & Beautiful – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste”
The first of this series has been developed in collaboration with IOC-ISLANDS project, through EU funding, and One Future One Planet Community and focuses on raising awareness about the Vision for a Zero-Waste Society, and generating engagement in the collective care-taking of our Islands in the Indian Ocean Region.
Emphasis in this Campaign is on showing people the negative impacts of our behaviours on our natural world, and create engagement to change this by reducing, reusing, and recycling waste. Watch more here: Waves of Change – Keep our Islands Clean & Beautiful.
This SOW Stewardship Campaign was officially launched during the Waves of Change Event from 6 April to 18 April 2013, at Institut français, in Mauritius. The Waves of Change Event was funded by the EU, through IOC-ISLANDS Project, and shared amongst others the work of One Future One Planet Project, which was funded by the European Union Delegation in Mauritius.
