The "Adventure at the Blue Center" initiative aimed to raise awareness among young people about ocean protection. The action took place within the framework of an environmental awareness campaign aimed at children and young people.
The main activity was a beach cleanup action, where participants were able to directly contribute to the removal of waste from the coastal area. This practical experience allowed young people to concretely understand the impacts of pollution on marine ecosystems.
The participating children and young people belonged to the ATL (Leisure Time Activities) of the Parish Unit for Social Support of Praia de Mira. This social institution is responsible for the follow-up and leisure activities of children and adolescents in the region.
Praia de Mira was the chosen location for this awareness-raising effort, being a coastal area in the district of Coimbra where this type of cleanup action has particular relevance for the preservation of the local environment.
