175 young people aged between 6 and 25 began on Monday, with the visit of TÛRANOR PlanetSolar, the "Solar Relay of the Torch of Hope", a relay race from pier to jetty as a symbol of the performance and importance of renewable energy as a hope for the future. Children and young people around the world can express their wishes and ideas for the solar future with texts, videos, music, drawings and models.

With its expedition around the world, the PlanetSolar project wants to sensitize the managers of the future for the use of sustainable energy sources and seeks direct contact with schools, families and students. Through discusio

When visiting the ship's crew, young people can experience up close the extraordinary adventures of the world's largest solar ship and participate directly in the project with their visions of a solar-powered world.

In a symbolic act, Brisbane children and youth hand over a collage banner to the PlanetSolar crew. The work will not only accompany the first solar boat on its expedition around the world, but will grow with the participation of children and young people in each stop of the ship. In addition, young people from all over the world can participate through the Internet in the project.

Brisbane has been deliberately chosen as the starting point of the "PlanetSolar Relay for Hope", as earlier this year it was hit by severe natural disasters. At the end of the PlanetSolar expedition in Monaco, in early 2012, it is planned to deliver all the work as a promising idea to politicians and politicians and

representatives of the United Nations.

Cordula Ströher of the family that owns TÛRANOR is the initiator of the "PlanetSolar Relay for Hope." "With this tour of the solar world we want to give a sign that the shift to renewables is taking place," said Cordula Ströher. "We are very excited by the enthusiasm with which young people here in Brisbane welcome us."

"Initiatives such as the 'PlanetSolar Relay for Hope' are crucial to ensure that the next generation is more aware of environmental issues and the significance of the importance of fighting for a solar future," said PlanetSolar project founder Raphaël Domjan.

The MS TÛRANOR PlanetSolar withstands the harshest weather conditions so far on its expedition around the world and has arrived in Brisbane, on the Australian continent. The last part of the Pacific crossing has been characterized by rough seas, hurricane gusts and extremely difficult conditions, which the largest solar ship has passed with great success.

The PlanetSolar TÛRANOR has set itself the goal of traveling the world complying with strict criteria – the so-called English conditions, with the following requirements: the starting and finishing point of the expedition is the same, you have to cross all the meridians, pass twice the equator and also the antipodal point. The antipodal point circumscribes the exact place in the opposite hemisphere, and is calculated by drawing a line from the initial point that passes through the center and reaches the opposite side of the earth.

On the journey from New Caledonia to Australia, the MS TÛRANOR has already met two of the required criteria: it has passed through the antipodal point and has crossed the equator. In addition, the solar boat has achieved two records in its recent expedition: being the fastest solar boat to cross the Atlantic and having traveled the longest distance with solar energy.
