Education

Education is at the heart of everything we do at Our Only World. By empowering young people with knowledge, creativity, and a connection to nature, we aim to inspire lifelong advocates for our oceans.

Through music, storytelling, and partnerships with like-minded organisations, we create engaging, accessible ways for children and communities to understand the impact of plastic pollution and the importance of marine conservation. From school performances of our charity single to books written by children and grassroots collaborations, our educational projects are designed to inform, inspire, and ignite action.

Explore how we’re nurturing the next generation of ocean champions.

Inspiring Future Generations

Our Only World was created to help spread the message about restoring the ocean for future generations, so what better place to start than by inspiring children?

The charity is named after the brilliant song by composer and producer David Smart, Our Only World. Tina and David first discussed launching the charity with this inspirational song, commissioned for children, to raise awareness of the plastic pollution present in our oceans.

In 2023, David helped us to finally release the charity single, Our Only World, and we’re so proud of the final result.

A big thanks to Chantal Harrison and our generous sponsors GRG, Cazenove Capital, and the Red Carnation Group we were able to create a professionally recorded song and a music video. We hope it will have a major impact and inspire future generations to look after our precious oceans and minimise the impact plastic pollution has on our marine life.

Since then, the song has been recreated by schools across the world! Find more here.

Children book: Yikesy Meets Gaia

In 2022, we launched a new book with author Beth Boon.

Written and illustrated by children, for children. Beth has worked with a local school to create the adventure tale of Yikesy Meets Gaia.

It is the story of an alien who follows a trail of plastic space junk to Earth where she finds more plastic than she’s ever seen. Join Yikesy and friends on their journey to help rid the beaches of plastic and save Earth!

Since then, we have created a sequel, Yikesy Meets Gaia by the River, and a widgit version of each book so those children that do not read text can still enjoy the books.
