Sail a tall ship from Germany to the Netherlands, exploring the stunning North Sea coastline with an international crew of young participants. Take the helm and steer a majestic Tall Ship toward the horizon — feel the thrill of guiding such a powerful vessel! Work together to hoist the sails, harnessing the wind to carry you to your next destination. Chart your course, track your progress, and immerse yourself in an adventure you’ll never forget.

Join The Ocean Movement and take part in vital plastic research at sea. Learn about marine ecosystems and the impact of human activity on our oceans. Use a Manta trawl to collect and analyze microplastic samples, contributing to a global database for worldwide research. Organize beach clean-ups and connect with local communities to drive meaningful change. Get hands-on by crafting plastic-free cosmetics and brainstorming creative solutions for a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Make friends across borders (and ships!) and share your culture while sailing the ship together. Explore the similarities and differences between your countries, cook your national dish for the crew, and create an international playlist for the journey! Join fun games and activities led by mentors and challenge yourself both on board and on shore. With Exchange@Sea, every moment is an adventure — there’s never a dull moment!
