Sailors on the CitizenShip - Discovering
Africa
On the base of the concept of Sailors on the CitizenShip,
captains Kasia, Marco and Ondrej developed a one year project

Youth in Action program and the project is implemented from

on 4 European ngos from Estonia, Germany, Czech Republic and
Poland. And on 4 African ngos from the Republic of South Africa,
Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.
