July 9, 5:00–8:00 p.m., during the market: Lecture and seaweed tartare cooking workshop
As part of her project *Among the Voices of the Ocean*, Corlie Glémas is traveling along the Atlantic coastline to the English Channel using sustainable modes of transportation (surfing, cycling, and sand yachting), with the goal of communicating ocean-related issues in an accessible and engaging way. She will lead an interactive talk combining adventure stories, popular science, and discussions with the audience. This talk is based on the first edition of *Parmi les Voix de l’Océan 2025*, during which she traveled 1,500 km to raise awareness about ocean conservation, making her way to the UNOC via hitchhiking, cycling, and skateboarding. She will also lead a workshop on making seaweed tartare.
Free admission.
