Project Connect "Adopt a Ship” program aiming to bring together Greek Schools and Seafarers on board Merchant Ships in order to provide a real-world learning experience for school children. Project Connect is a non-profit organization founded in May 2015 with the support of Greek shipowners and distinguished professionals in Shipping and Human Resources.
The Program involves assigning to schools’ classrooms a particular vessel each for direct email communication between the children and the Master/officers of the vessel with the aim to inform the children about life onboard, cargoes carried by ships, trading patterns and geography. This exchange of correspondence will create interest and raise awareness of children of very young age by introducing them to shipping as an industry, its vital contribution to the global trade and economy.
