The Federal Truck is a beautifully designed truck with which the Belgian federal government is reaching out to citizens in a low-threshold, accessible and fun manner. Coastal populations and visitors's awareness is raised on the natural values of the North Sea, the importance of its protection and actions that are and can be taken in this field.
The Federal Truck will visit 10 coastal cities over the course of the summer of 2017 and will propose the following activities for visitors:
- playing our interactive game on a big screen getting waste out of the ocean;
- discovering marine life in sensatory boxes;
- making personalized souvenir postcards in our photo booth;
- participating in a quiz with a chance to winning interesting sustainable prizes.

Additionnally, the Federal Truck will organize a beach clean-up at every stop. The Secretary of State for the North Sea, Philip De Backer, as well as the mayors of the coastal cities will be invited to join. Marine litter will be given special attention in the truck and the different coastal cities will have the opportunity to distribute their awareness raising material to visitors as well.
We will actively involve the media through a dedicated documentary and a radio campaign.
