CCB Summer Course ”Our Common Baltic” at Hel Marine Station, Poland, on 9-14 July 2018.

The CCB network aims to develop and establish new contacts between engaged citizens in all the Baltic Sea countries and the “Our Common Baltic” yearly summer course is a fantastic way for new volonteers from CCB Member Organisations to get involved, to learn more about the problems and solutions for the Baltic sea catchment and to meet and learn from each others experiences and specific issues in the respective country and local situation.

In 2018, the course took place at Hel Marine Station, situated on the top of the beautiful Hel peninsula in Poland, and welcomed students and volonteers from CCB Member Organisations.
