Before I go into detail, a big thanks to Ørsted for hosting us at their (very cool) Grimsby Hub and organising a tour of the SOV. Also, to The Crown Estate for organising the first day trip to Projekt Renewable, and to Natural England for giving their time to attend our presentations and their feedback. The support for us interns is unmatchable, so thank you all!
Monday 16th October:
The trip began with a visit to Projekt Renewable. The project (spelt Projekt in recognition to the Danish links Grimsby has) is an immersive educational destination that is designed to allow everyone to see and hear the opportunities that exist in the area. The North East of Lincolnshire’s future begins with the success of its young people, and this project will inspire them to see (and be inspired by) the opportunities on their doorsteps.
Adrian Askam, Projekt Director, explained the project and its significance to us. I was not only inspired by his drive to help bring about green economic regeneration of the town, but also his passion in bringing together the community within his home town of Grimsby. Thanks Adrian for sharing your project with us!
