Join the Morgenster for a very unique voyage: Exchange@sea during the Tall Ships Races. Learn to sail a Tall Ship, contribute to plastic research of the sea, make friends from different countries - all while participating in the famous event. Race other ships for the trophy and expect spectacular events in the ports: Crew Parade, Crew Party, competitions, fireworks and many trainees from different countries! This adventurous journey is fully-packed with fun activities on board and on land.

Meet a marine biologist from By the Ocean we Unite and learn to get water samples from the sea. Analyze the microplastics, learn about marine ecosystems, brainstorm solutions for leading more sustainable life. With so many people from different countries, it's impossible to predict what you might come up with! The mentors on board will organise intercultural activities, games and discussions, and make sure everyone is feeling right at home.

The ship sails day and night, and so will you! Divided into watches, you will take shifts with other trainees and crew. Soon you will know how to steer the impressive Tall Ship, trim the sails, navigate, make knots and so much more. Sounds daunting? No worries, you won’t even notice when you’ve started to take more and more responsibilities on board and soon you will be sailing the Morgenster with confidence.

No budget? No worries! The Windseeker Dinghy will help you get on board. The program, much more than just a fundraising training, is part of your preparation and included in the Exchanges.
