“Wavemakers United just does that: They make waves. And for good reasons because our current way of living is not sustainable. Change is a prerequisite if we want our planet and its inhabitants to be healthy in the long run. The positive energy and international orientation of our young Wavemakers are powerful drivers of the change we need.”

Let the games begin! - Marcelien 'chef de emission NOC*NSF and Mayor of Your North sea’ "
