This hackathon is more than just an event; it's an opportunity to inspire future generations and instill a sense of blue citizenship.

Understanding Blue Citizenship

The concept of blue citizenship revolves around recognizing the oceans and rivers not just as bodies of water, but as living entities that play an essential role in shaping our cultures, climate, and collective future. Despite this critical importance, ocean blindness affects many people, causing a disconnect that deprives society of understanding our oceans' immense value. By participating in Digiblue, you can actively contribute to countering this phenomenon. This initiative invites innovative thinkers and change-makers to come together and craft compelling narratives that promote awareness and appreciation for our aquatic environments.

Get Involved: Crafting Stories for Awareness

Actively seeking bold and imaginative teams to participate in this year’s challenge, participants are encouraged to explore various forms of storytelling—be it visual, interactive, immersive, or multimedia. Through these creative avenues, teams can illuminate themes surrounding aquatic ecosystems and the blue economy, facilitating diverse learning experiences for broader audiences. The challenge provides a platform for co-creation, where ideas can flourish collectively. In preparation for this annual challenge, an invite is extended to educators, creatives, and students alike to come together and transform the narrative around our water bodies. By leveraging technology, art, and innovative storytelling, the public's appreciation for Earth's water bodies and their vital functions within our world will be strengthened.
