The event was co-organised by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, The Generalitat Valenciana and the NGO Ayam Sailing Europe.
The primary aim of the event was to forge a robust alliance between the European scientific community and the formal education sector capitalised on the exceptional non-formal learning environment provided by nautical activities and sailboats, seeking innovative ways to intertwine education and marine exploration.
The event was an unequivocal success, surpassing all expectations. Distinguished by the presence of esteemed participants from prominent institutions like the EU Commission - JRC, UNESCO-IOC, the European Committee of the Region, European schools networks, and stakeholders from the nautical sector.

NAVIGATING KNOWLEDGE
INSPIRING CHANGE We advocate for the implementation of a new Erasmus in Europe specifically focused on the preservation of Oceans and Waters
The pedagogical sailboat concept developed during our first pilot project
The sailboat has a strong power of attraction over youth because it conveys an ecological message and produces a feeling of freedom and adventure. The sailboat is used as a motivation factor and a contextual environment to acquire: Transversal competence: organisation, communication, team working, leadership etc. Technical competences: The technical competences are acquired through hands-on activities on the engine, the electrical installation, the onboard electronics, etc. |
