The Embassy of the North Sea gives a voice to things, plants, animals, and people in and around the North Sea. In the months March, April and June, we co-create with these actors a ‘Plea of the North Sea’. You can follow the process on www.ambassadevandenoordzee.nl.

On Saturday 16th of June, during Tech Culture festival Border Sessions a hands-on and inspirational event is organised in the Embassy with the following central question: How can we use open data and artificial intelligence to give a political voice to the North Sea ecosystem?

Bring your design, hack, artistics, visualisation, analytics, programming, and entrepreneurship skills and give the creatures and things that inhabit and make use of our North Sea a visually appealing, realtime, and real voice. Your input, the output of the lab, as well as the plea that is developed will be presented in the Hague to the second chamber on the 29th of June.

The Embassy of the North Sea is an initiative of the Parliament of Things, and developed by Stroom Den Haag, Stichting De Noordzee, Building Conversation, The Ponies and De Waag Society, with support from Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie, Gemeente Den Haag, Mondriaanfond and Bank Giro Loterij Fonds.
