Find all our Fireside Chats on Mighty Networks!

Fireside Chats, news

The Fireside Chats emerged from a desire to learn from Indigenous voices. These chats have been created in partnership with our friends at @naheyawin and the support of our amazing guests. Each chat stems from the shared excitement and passion of all of us to engage in meaningful conversations around sustainable practice that both inspire and educate.

We would love to see you join the chats. However, we understand not everyone will be able to join live.
That’s why we have created this space where you can access the recordings anytime!

Access the recordings on Mighty Networks here!

As we enter the fourth year of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the European Marine Board (EMB) is looking for two new artists/groups of artists for the 2025 – 2026 edition of their ‘EMBracing the Ocean’ artist-in-residence programme. 

The EMBracing the Ocean programme provides euro grants for creative individuals/groups from a wide range of disciplines to engage in a two-way co-creation of artwork in collaboration with Ocean scientists. 

The aims of the programme are: 

  1. Raise societal awareness of and embrace connection to the Ocean
  2. Inspire positive behaviour towards sustainability
  3. Contribute new insight and/or perspectives to science

The programme is open to creative individuals/groups from a wide variety of artistic disciplines. Both emerging and established artists will be considered by the committee. Prior experience in co-creation with scientists and/or communities and working on sustainability topics is desirable.

Applications are welcome from across the world, and from a wide range of creative disciplines, including but not limited to:

  • visual arts (e.g. drawing, painting, filmmaking, photography, sculpting, digital arts, installation art);
  • literary arts (e.g. fiction, drama, poetry, storytelling);
  • performing arts (e.g. dance, music, theatre); and
  • traditional and indigenous arts.
