Prada and UNESCO hosted an ocean education event in Paris
As part of its Sea Beyond program, Prada hosted a two-day event in connection with UNESCO's International Oceanographic Committee, supported by proceeds from the brand’s Re-Nylon range, which included a splashy cocktail party, a screening and an educational workshop to celebrate its ongoing partnership with UNESCO.
The brand took over the historical building’s Italian Renaissance-style grand amphitheater, followed by an unspooling of its documentary film “Kindergarten of the Lagoon,” which sees a group of children enrolled in its educational program in Venice. The Prada-supported program, launched in 2021, has now seen 35,000 children learn its immersive curriculum.
Prada also brought a panel of speakers including Liborio Stellino, Italian delegate to UNESCO; Clément Lavigne, director of ocean policy, Prince Albert I of Monaco Foundation’s Oceanographic Institute; Agnès Saal, adviser to the French National Commission for UNESCO and organization team of the U.N. Ocean Conference; Karen Evans, UNESCO head of Ocean Science Section, and Francesca Santoro, UNESCO senior program officer.
