Changemaker Flashback 🌎💥
Almost one year ago I had the privilege of running my Young Changemakers Program at the @ais_vienna
I’m incredibly proud to see their students and teachers successfully remove all single-use plastic bottles from the school cafeteria.
This is what happens when student leadership is trusted and supported. 💧🌍
Grateful for the inspiring educators, the passionate student leaders I first met, and for continuing this journey together with my Professional Filmmaker Mother, Karin Ecker.

Next Chapter of Global Citizenship begins NOW! 💥
This 10-year journey has taught me that true leadership requires two things:
Organic Roots and Digital Wisdom.
It’s about having your hands in the earth and your feet in the water, then using your global voice to turn that real-life experience into a movement. It’s the transition from “scrolling” to “solving.”
We don’t just talk about global citizenship; we live it. Whether it’s surveying the Danube or restoring seagrass in Greece, the goal is the same: Moving from awareness to evidence-based action.
The future isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we create together, rooted in nature, amplified by wisdom.

As a young changemaker, adventurer, and ocean lover, I’ve seen the beauty and fragility of our oceans up close. Through my Changemaker Travel Program, I love to spotlight dive centres like Dive2Gether, a PADI ECO CENTRE, that are leading the way in ocean conservation through science programs with leading scientists, restoration programs, and boot camps.
I share these empowering experiences also during my global school presentations, engaging and motivating young people and their families to dive with purpose and take real action for our planet. Scuba diving isn’t just a sport. It’s a lifestyle to connect, learn, and become a leader who truly cares for our natural world with Actions.
Being part of this community and their boot camp means protecting, learning, and leading together. If you’re ready to move beyond being a follower and create real impact, dive in together with us and help protect our oceans. 🤿🌿

At age 11, I started with a simple mission:
learn, explore, and protect the planet.
9 years later, as a 20-year-old keynote speaker, film presenter, educator, and still a learner, presenting to hundreds of schools and millions of students, I’ve realised the mission never really ends.
Keep following what pulls you forward. 🌍

Learning from the best, both in books and in real life. 🌍
For nearly 10 years, my mother Karin Ecker, a professional documentary filmmaker, and I have travelled the world together filming changemakers, protecting ecosystems, and turning real experiences into education for students globally.
Intergenerational collaboration matters.

Oceans are covered in fishing gear, micro plastic we can’t even see or clean up. New report about microplastic clogging up phytoplankton and zooplankton affecting their ability to sequest carbon dioxide. Let’s turn off the pollution at the tap. #diving #singleusel #quality

Happy 100 Birthday David Attenborough.
We hear you. Throughout my past 9 Intergenerational Collaboration with my mum Karin Ecker who was an underwater documentary filmmaker before I was born , I grew up with David being my hero as a child. Together we created a vision to engage millions of children to engage in solution focused education.
So far we created 8 years of library of showing me from the age of 11 til now, engaging with community, organisations, corporations, and government globally as well as creating the outreach program where students can relate to someone their own age.
Thank you David Attenborough, you have inspired my mum who then brought all this to my life. True intergenerational legacy.

David Attenborough brought the world into my childhood like nobody else. My mother took me every day into the ocean, he took me out into the wonders of the world. Both inspired me to makes film and his voice has shaped my perspective on our Earth. Thank you for such a magnificent role model to so many💙🌎💚#birthday #davidattenborough
