It was an inspirational round of friends, colleagues, and mentors! And please, as I said in my presentation, if you are in Europe and would like an exchange, collaboration ,or just make new friends, contact me!
Hello! it appears that the link to: Daniel Helft – Bote al Agua (Buenos Aires, Argentina) is not correct. Would love to see the site.
Thanks for letting us know, we’ve fixed the link!

Inspiring and empowering youth will only help us preserve and grow the maritime industry. More importantly – I think it helps us all become better humans. I am so grateful these programs exist!
Please ask Adam Green to give a thumbs up to Svea from friends in Minneapolis!
