Cadets from Kazakhstan successfully conclude their atlantic voyage, an exclusive academic journey.
The Kazakhstan Maritime Academy and Kazakh-British Technical University have embarked on a unique maritime education project, providing practical ocean navigation training to their students. This extraordinary journey was undertaken aboard the sailing vessel Eendracht, a well-known Dutch tall ship often used for sail training and educational voyages.
Partnerships with organisations such as the STC Group, a maritime education and training expert based in the Netherlands, facilitated this hands-on experience for the cadets. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean offered them a chance to gain practical experience in ocean navigation, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world applications.
The voyage commenced from Cape Verde Island, off the west coast of Africa, and concluded on Curacao Island in the Caribbean Sea, covering approximately 5,910 kilometers. The journey was a significant foundation-laying experience for the cadets' future maritime careers, allowing them to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world ocean navigation conditions and develop essential maritime skills.
The news was reported by the Kazakh Ministry of Science and Higher Education on January 20, and the journey was documented with a photo credit given to the Kazakh Ministry of Science and Higher Education. This educational project was designed to combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience in ocean navigation, preparing the cadets for future maritime careers.
For more detailed information about the exact program details, dates, and outcomes of this educational project, official announcements from the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy, Kazakh-British Technical University, or STC Group websites or press releases would need to be consulted.
This voyage provided the cadets with an opportunity to gain practical experience in ocean navigation, apply their theoretical knowledge in a real-world context, and develop essential maritime skills. It served as an essential stage in their preparation for a future maritime career, offering them invaluable exposure to international collaboration and leadership development.
- The educational project combining sailing aboard the Eendracht, a tall ship used for educational voyages, with a maritime curriculum at the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy and Kazakh-British Technical University, integrated learning in travel, allowing cadets to apply their educational knowledge in a real-world context and foster lifestyle changes that prioritize self-development through learning.
- By participating in this maritime education project, which traveled from Cape Verde Island to Curacao Island, the cadets embraced an opportunity for hands-on experience, not only in ocean navigation but also in travel, thereby enhancing their education-and-self-development by broadening their horizons and acquiring essential skills for their future careers.
