Our project to clean the ocean started with 12 year old kids building a 15 foot humpback whale from plastic, which they did in an effort to bring attention to the problem of plastics and other trash in the ocean. Next the children arranged to have the first ever children's summit to save the ocean at the United Nations in Vienna in June, 2018.
We're looking for a filmmaker to create a short film (3-5 minutes) that can be incorporated into 1) our app which is currently being developed, 2) our crowd-funding campaigns, 3) our web site, 4) in our installations (described below).
In association with this project, we also hope to raise millions in our clean the ocean campaign. And toward that goal, we plan to install the whale for perhaps 3 month periods in several prominent places in Vienna, including the zoo, Haus des Meeres, the Natural History Museum, to both educate the public and raise awareness of our project.
Hope you're out there.
Please see more details about the event and app and such on our website: www.childrensaveocean.com

Mission Statement
Our core mission is to give children everywhere a voice about our planet's environment, a mission we currently approach through our mobile app development, our work with the United Nations, and our exhibitions. Integral to that mission is providing teachers with a platform to deeply engage their students about plastic ocean pollution, climate change and the critically related issue of sustainability. Why? Children deserve a voice in this world. And empowering them with one may just be the help we obviously so desperately need.
Description
Kids Save Ocean began in 2016 when teacher Peder Hill helped 12-year-olds build a 15-foot whale from trash to bring attention to ocean plastic pollution. Dissatisfied by their inability to have any impact, his efforts expanded to face-painting, exhibitions, the Children’s Clean Ocean Summit at the UN, and the Fatechanger mobile app. Along the way a global network of volunteers joined him, all drawn to the same simple powerful idea: give kids a voice.
The Urgent Need for Sustainability
Education is key to enabling us to transform our world into a sustainable one. Sustainability, however, remains unintegrated into curricula across the globe. Teachers everywhere, students everywhere, need powerful tools today to understand and develop a sustainable world for tomorrow. The future depends on us. There’s no time left to tiptoe.
A Unique Model - Learning Tools with Teeth
Kids Save Ocean’s Fatechanger app and its innovative teaching and learning resources will help fill both these critical voids, creating a platform focused on the visual and visceral issue of ocean plastic pollution (a topic directly connected to sustainability) to deeply engage kids and give them a global voice to impact these challenges - initially through facilitating and tracking a global letter-writing campaign, then through including them informally and eventually formally in the United Nations.
