INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES
Youngsters - between the age of 15 and 25 - from all over the world, together onboard one ship, sail training at sea, connecting with other cultures, lots of fun and having the experience of a lifetime! That’s an International Exchange!At Sea Sail Training organises International Exchange Programs on a variety of Sail Training Ships during events like the Tall Ships Races. All Exchange Programs have the same offset, but the experience and interpretation of the programs differ for each and every trip depending on the voyage, the ship, the cultures and the wind!
INTERNATIONAL CREW
On an International Exchange you will sail a ship together with trainees from several different nationalities. This will broaden your horizon and feed understanding and tolerance for different cultures. English is the official language onboard and for your own safety a working knowledge of this language is necessary.
Next to participation in all aspects of Sail Training (pdf), like manoeuvring, navigating, climbing the rigs, cooking and cleaning, you will do activities that enhance cultural exchange, some ashore with local communities and some onboard with the crew.
All activities like debates, national dinners, games, and discussions are considering cultural differences and/or are related to a certain theme: ‘Seafarers Then & Now’ for example, will introduce you to the maritime history and cultures at sea. You will become aware of the innovation of ships, harbours and maritime subjects and will investigate the discussion about new sustainable and environmentally friendly innovations within the maritime sector.
SPONSORING
All International Exchanges are sponsored trips. The financial support of the sponsorship and/or funding differs per exchange. Please check out the specific exchange information per ship and find out how much your financial benefit will be! It is also possible to find an individual sponsorship or fund for the support of your voyage fee.
MENTORS
Mentors accompany the exchange programs onboard for the necessary support of trainees and are responsible for the program schedule. If you are a mentor yourself (at youth organizations, .. etc.) and would like to join and organize an International Exchange Program onboard with a group of youngsters in cooperation with At Sea Sail Training? Please contact us!

Halftime
18-02-2012 10:00
Today we will reach the most southern point of our voyage and we have as many days ahead than behind. So: It's halftime! In games like soccer or basektball, there would be now the need for a rest. But as this trip for most of us is the trip of our lifetime, we don't even think about taking a rest!
During the first days of our journey we mostly look at the antartic world through lenses of all size. But since every kind of penguines, whales, icebergs etc. are pictured, the shutters of the cameras get a rest und pure enjoyment of the nature at this far end of the world will take its place in our life on board.
This evening we will visit the ukranian Vernadsky-Station. There we will - with their home-destilled vodka - say 'Cheers!' to the remaining days to come!
