STI met a small delegation from EMH during their spring meeting in Amsterdam
19-4-2013
 European Maritime Heritage encourages the transmission of traditional nautical skills from experienced seafarers to younger sailors who can keep these skills alive. Its triennial Congress in Portugal in 2010 was principally devoted to a series of debates on how these skills can be passed down to a new generation.
Sail Training International works throughout the world to promote opportunities for young people of all backgrounds to experience the value of sail training in developing life skills of self-reliance, personal initiative and teamwork. It has extensive experience in bringing together training ships for competitive and social events, where the public can enjoy the spectacle of traditional seamanship in action and share the experience of international understanding practically demonstrated through crew exchanges.
Trustees from S T I met a small delegation from EMH in Amsterdam on 19 April 2013 to discuss how the two organizations might work more closely together. Close agreement was reached on a number of broad issues, and we resolved to work more closely together to sustain traditional seafaring as a repository of important life skills and a conduit for sharing the lessons which the sea can teach us.
