This program in Portugal offers a surfing experience that is both immersive and educational, while also playing an active role in preserving the marine environment. It allows you to discover the fascinating world of surfing while having a positive impact on our planet through concrete environmental protection initiatives.
The program consists of several activities:
Your project begins on the beautiful beaches of Portugal, where you will learn to surf in the morning, enjoying the waves and improving your skills.
In the afternoon, you will take part in beach clean-up operations. This activity is not just about keeping the shores clean, but also aims to actively fight plastic pollution. As a volunteer, you contribute directly to the preservation of the marine environment and the reduction of single-use plastic waste.
But that’s not all! In this program, you become part of something bigger.
Transform plastic waste into something useful and fun, such as skateboards and paddleboards. This is a creative and innovative way to tackle the problem of plastic pollution, showing that every small action can lead to significant change.
So, are you ready to surf with impact?
Volunteers participating in the surf and ocean protection project will have various key missions to help preserve the marine environment.
Among the main tasks, you will take part in:
Recycling, cleaning, raising awareness — all these actions contribute to sustainable solutions for ocean protection.
