Develop an idea to reduce the use of single-use plastic and send it to our team at Save The Med.  The five teams with the most impactful projects will be invited to join a marine science expedition exploring the wildlife in the Mediterranean Sea.

• This project is open to all students living in the Balearic Islands aged 15-18   (14 year olds can participate if they turn 15 by December 31st 2022)

​

• Team members must be in the same school and the same school year

IMPORTANT: Projects focused on recycling or clean-ups will NOT be considered. Instead, explore ways in which your project can help REDUCE the amount of single-use plastic that is produced by companies and/or used by consumers in our everyday lives. 

We encourage you to consider the interest and talents of your team members, and think of creative ways of how you can apply them to develop an inspiring project! 

MARINE SCIENCE EXPEDITIONS

• Our judges will select up to 5 top projects for 2023

• Expeditions are scheduled for July 2023

TWO MOST IMPACTFUL PROJECTS WILL BE INVITED ON-BOARD A MARINE SCIENCE EXPEDITION WEEK 

THREE PROJECTS WILL BE INVITED TO JOIN A MARINE SCIENCE EXCURSION DAY

In addition, the classes of the five teams will be able to use an endowment of 500 euros from the Foundation to invest in an environmental activity, excursion or project.

​

If potential funders and/or investors find feasible ideas among the projects, students might be offered a possibility to develop their projects further.
