Core values

- **Social Impact**: Sail training programs have been shown to increase self-confidence, appreciation of one’s capabilities, and respect for and cooperation with others among participants[1][5].
- **Intercultural Learning**: These programs provide a unique space for intercultural learning, helping to break down cultural barriers and foster international understanding and diplomacy[3].
- **Youth Development**: The programs target young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them grow in confidence, rise to challenges, and develop essential life skills[2][4].
- **Community and Inclusion**: The initiatives support diverse and disadvantaged communities, promoting social inclusion and providing opportunities for young people who might otherwise be excluded from such experiences[2][4].
- **Educational Value**: Sail training serves as an alternative education space, offering experiential learning that can complement formal education and promote personal and social development[3][5].
