It is inevitable to think that our routine distances us from our natural essence. Despite enjoying a wonderful neighbourhood that gives us the possibility of being in contact with the sea, sometimes we do not find the time or the way to connect with it. That is why an initiative arose from the Association of Neighbours, the Festival Committee, ACIB and the Mar de Ciencia association. A day of activities was proposed, on one of the most beautiful but at the same time most critical days for our beaches: the Verbena de San Juan, but this time with zero residence, without alcohol and inclusive.
Thanks to the collaboration of Distrito, Port Vell, Marina Barcelona 92, Dortoka , Evolution Yacht , BlueGreen Vision , Restaurante El Chulo , Paisaje Limpio and Belong to the Sea , made it possible to make a day with experiences such as paddle surfing, waste collection, snorkelling , ice bath , conscious breathing, dance, body expression. At the end, a zero-waste dinner was held with the collaboration of the Fishermen’s Guild. A lot of photographs shared on social networks were witness to this great party, but what was the greatest gift that the participants took away? A change in their emotions thanks to contact with the sea.
Profile of Mood test States found that before starting the activity, 69.5% of emotions were positive and at the end this figure increased by 91.9%, while emotions considered negative were initially 30.4% and at the end they represented only 8%. Surprising, right?
If you missed it, don’t worry! We will repeat it on September 28th, as part of the Festa Mayor. You can find more information on the website.
