Swim, paddle and shop in this city rich with culture and history. Stockholm is located on Sweden’s south-central east coast, where the freshwater Lake Mälaren, Sweden’s third largest lake, flows into the Baltic Sea. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways. Another 30% is made up of parks and green spaces. Stockholm has become a modern, technologically advanced, and ethnically diverse city. Have fun while exploring this ‘Venice of the North’, on the water and the shores.
Programme Outline
Set the sails, steer the vessel; prepare national dinner, make friends from different countries and contribute to making the Earth a healthier place! Join an Erasmus+ International Youth Exchange. Step on board to sail around Sweden, explore its coastal towns and clean its beautiful beaches. This project is set in cooperation with By the Ocean we Unite who will send along a marine biologist who will teach us all there is to know about plastic pollution.
We will be doing scientific research and beach cleanups, making a difference whilst exploring new places! Earn a Youth Pass - the official EU certificate of skills and competences. The International Exchanges are a mix of Sail Training journeys and cultural programs. While the captain and his crew will teach you how to sail a Tall Ship, the mentors will make sure that everyone feels good on board and has fun participating in various activities.
