Conference or masterclass: what's the difference?
The conferences and masterclasses offered by Act! with Surfrider share the same goal of raising environmental awareness, but differ in format and level of interactivity.
These sessions can be delivered via video conference or on-site, for audiences of all sizes. Formats range from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, in-person or online. Conferences can stand alone or be combined with other activities like an environmental quiz or collaborative fresk.
A wide range of environmental topics to choose from
Surfrider’s masterclasses and conferences cover a broad spectrum of environmental issues, tailored to your internal priorities. Here are some examples from the 15 modules available:
Why offer your teams a CSR conference or masterclass?
Hosting a CSR conference at your company is an effective way to initiate or reinforce employee awareness of ecological issues. These formats are designed to deliver clear, up-to-date scientific content, based on the expertise of Surfrider Foundation Europe. By involving specialists in climate, plastic pollution, or environmental health, you provide your teams with a structured and accessible learning experience.
This helps employees better grasp CSR topics and contributes to building a corporate culture focused on ecological transition. Conferences can also serve as an introduction to a broader awareness journey, complementing participatory workshops, litter clean-ups, or professional training on environmental issues.
Our CSR conferences adapt to your context: team size, available time, preferred format. Each talk is tailor-made to align with your CSR strategy, your industry, and your team’s awareness level.
Topics may include:
Our conferences combine scientific knowledge, real-world examples, and participatory tools. Each session may include interactive formats (quizzes, live polls, videos, Q&A) to keep engagement high.
These talks are especially relevant to:
Act! with Surfrider brings in recognised CSR experts, specialists in Ocean, climate, or ecological transition. All are trained in science communication and group facilitation to make each conference a memorable and impactful moment.
Each conference or masterclass is grounded in solid scientific foundations and delivered in an accessible format. The speaker tailors their message to the audience—avoiding unnecessary jargon—while providing targeted knowledge supported by concrete examples and data from sources such as the IPCC, IPBES, and Surfrider Foundation.
As a complement to other initiatives, conferences help structure your internal awareness efforts. They easily fit into a customized CSR journey or an ongoing awareness program. They also align with CSR training requirements linked to your company’s legal or organizational obligations.
Our masterclasses and conferences are an excellent way to discover or deepen your employees' knowledge of environmental causes related to the ocean. Thanks to these interactive webinars, raise your employees' awareness of the issues of plastic pollution or plastic change and test their knowledge via quizzes. We also have many modules on demand.
