SAILGREEN

Sailing for a Green Europe

About the Project:

SailGreen is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission. SailGreen is a European partnership of organizations from various countries. Our goal is to promote environmental awareness and sustainable practices through sailing as an innovative educational method. We aim to raise awareness of climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable lifestyles among young people and adults. To this end, we implement hands-on sailing projects combined with environmental education.
