COMMUNITY IMPACT

Clean water, counted results

Collected waste is weighed after the session and fed into Green Kayak’s shared clean‑up statistics; the event also channels 10% of its revenue to Green Kayak’s wider work for cleaner oceans.

TEAMBUILDING

Active, cooperative and purposeful

This is designed as an active teambuilding session that strengthens group bonds through a shared physical task on the water while pursuing a tangible environmental goal.

LOCAL SETTING

Aarhus harbor as your field site

Participants navigate the harbor environment on SUP boards, working directly where urban runoff and marine litter accumulate to make a visible difference in the local waterfront.
