International Ocean Film Tour
06.05.26: Berlin, Titania Filmpalast
10.05.26: Düsseldorf, Savoy Theater
13.05.26: Freiburg, Bürgerhaus Seepark
The five new films in International Ocean Film Tour Volume 12 tell the stories of people who dared to embark on new journeys and embrace change. Their stories take us out onto the open sea, to rugged coastlines, and to extraordinary encounters.
We will be at the film evenings to present our work, in particular the “Ocean Lovers Education” platform, which, in collaboration with the Ocean Film Tour, provides teaching materials and films from past tours for teachers.
Past Events
Invisible Worlds: From the Microcosm to the Universe
16 to 18 April 2026, Zeiss Großplanetarium Berlin
From 16 to 18 April 2026, everything at the Zeiss Großplanetarium in Berlin will revolve around the microscope, a groundbreaking invention that, like the telescope, has revolutionised our view of scientific connections. With its help, we will focus on microplastics as one of the pressing issues of our time. What do we mean by this, where is it found in the environment and in our bodies, and what consequences does it have for our society? In workshops, fulldome programmes, lectures and live performances, join us to experience an exciting journey from the microcosm of life to the infinite vastness of the universe.
The German Ocean Foundation will once again be on site with an information stand and interactive stations in the foyer.
Parliamentary Ocean Evening: Halfway through the Ocean Decade
16 April 2026, Zeiss Großplanetarium Berlin
The focus of the evening was the mid-term review of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). Representatives from politics, science and civil society unanimously emphasised that the importance of the ocean for the climate, biodiversity, food security, the economy and global stability is still not sufficiently reflected in political action in Germany.
The event also highlighted the central role of plankton in climate regulation, fisheries and food security. At the same time, the sensitivity of this system to human intervention was emphasised and its protection was presented as a global responsibility.
