Insights for the
ocean's best.
Ocean Living Lab
We are developing themes for our Ocean Living Lab expeditions. The themes are in various forms also red threads throughout our workshops wherever we will facilitate them: On-dock expos, seminars, inspirational get-togethers in formal and non-formal sessions onboard, think tanks, and team-building activities along our voyages. They will, and are meant to, evolve as we sail together with our guesting crews, but are in their origin based on the years of experiences and research findings we have collected in our Sailing4Science projects worldwide up until now.
Insights on oceanography and life-style alternatives
Arriving with a sailboat to harbors and marinas in cities, small coastal villages or remote islands always generates curiosity and attention from the locals. It is a meant-to-be opportunity to share insights, knowledge, stories, cultures, ideas, and experiences together. We have throughout the years learned to use those occasions as great opportunities for us to share what we have to bring to the ones who want to listen. From that we have developed six workshop themes that have been especially well-received:
Insights based on the UN Ocean Decade 2030 Program:
Co-Creating a hopeful vision in a triple planetary crisis.
– Co-creation & all-inclusive
– A hopeful vision
– One Ocean
– Climate change
– Pollution impact
– Bio-diversity loss
Insights from the latest experiences from the electrification of harbors, marinas, ferries, ships, and boats.
– Fossil fuel out – electric in?
– Realities today
– Infrastructural demands
– New generations’ demands
– Local status and opportunities
Insights from the sharing of hands-on everyday lifestyle alternatives on how to turn the tap off when it comes to waste and toxic chemicals.
– Zero Waste and the 5 R’s
– Breaking the habits
– Food and packaging
– Up-cycling as an idea
– What are the toxins to avoid
– Going back to the future
Insights about how we can use the ocean smarter and more sustainable and displaying new Blue Foods.
– The Blue Food Wave
– Vegan or non-vegan
– Fresh and healthy
– Easy to grow, easy to cook
– Sea farming on your shores
– Master Chefs going Blue
Insights developed when city stakeholders and politicians meet, discuss and learn more about local opportunities in a free thinking format :
– City to Sea connection
– Oxygen, sour, waste, losses
– Co-creation along the shores
– Scientific status locally
– Opportunities ahead
Insights evolving when people meet and strive to become part of the solution for positive change – by actively joining citizen science projects and other programs.
– Everybody can help– everybody is needed
– Try out to be a scientist
– Get connected to the sea
– Start where you stand
– Join the S4S-movement
An insights' think tank and a teamwork hub
Hrimfare offers ideal facilities for groups that want to meet for insights, teambuilding, privacy, or adventures. We provide safe, comfortable, and "oceanic" facilities onboard in combination with suitable locations ashore or accommodation along our voyages and expeditions. We combine sailing with scientific sampling collection and allow groups to meet in an Informal and friendly manner, cook food together, develop ideas, focus on team building, or just celebrate something together. Hrimfare is a living lab vessel with a built-in oceanic purpose.
