OCTA is an Official Partner of the Celebrate Islands 9th Edition event.

The Celebrate Islands team is pleased to announce the launch of the 9th edition of CELEBRATE ISLANDS, held from May 11 to 18, 2022.

As every year, we wish to put small islands and their actors in the spotlight during this international event.

We are convinced that the world’s small islands are precious sources of inspiration and bearers of conservation solutions that it is essential to promote and disseminate. Therefore, we suggest gathering our energies during a festive week to honor our islands.

There are two ways to participate in Celebrate Islands:

 

 ORGANIZE AN EVENT ON YOUR ISLAND

For this new edition, we want to continue to highlight the way you take care of your island territories.

Organize an event between the 11th and 18th of May, and register it in the CELEBRATE ISLANDS agenda (description, dates, and pictures) here . We will take care of promoting it through our social networks and those of our partners!

You will also benefit, free of charge, from a CELEBRATE ISLANDS 2022 communication kit (to be downloaded here ) to promote your actions and your participation in this event.

More information in the flyer downloadable here .
