Kazakh Military Students Cross Atlantic Ocean During Unique Educational Sailing Expedition
Kazakhstan Maritime Academy Cadets Sail Across the Atlantic Ocean on Educational Voyage
In an extraordinary educational project, second-year cadets from the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy (KMA) recently embarked on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The unique voyage took place on the Dutch sailing vessel, Eendracht, and was facilitated by a partnership between KMA and STC Group.
The educational project was designed to allow KMA cadets to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world ocean navigation conditions. The journey, which was a part of the second-year curriculum, started from Cape Verde Island, off the west coast of Africa, and concluded at Curacao Island in the Caribbean Sea. The voyage was approximately 5,910 kilometers long.
The journey served as an essential stage in the preparation of KMA cadets for their future maritime careers. The unique combination of theory and practice provided an invaluable learning experience, offering cadets the opportunity to test their skills in a challenging and authentic setting.
The Kazakh Ministry of Science and Higher Education reported on the educational project on January 20, and the voyage was documented by the ministry. Photos from the journey were also made available, giving a glimpse into the cadets' experiences at sea.
This educational project marks a significant step towards laying the foundation for a future maritime career for KMA cadets. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, practical, hands-on experiences like this one are increasingly important in preparing the next generation of maritime professionals.
For those interested in learning more about this unique educational project, official communications from the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy, maritime training news portals, or the official website of the sailing ship Eendracht may provide further information on specific voyage reports or educational expedition updates.
The educational voyage served as a crucial step in the KMA cadets' personal growth and education-and-self-development, challenging them with authentic ocean navigation conditions. Along with providing a learning experience that fostered their personal growth, the voyage was an essential part of their second-year curriculum on learning the principles of maritime navigation.
