“Heroes of the Two Sea & Heroes to See"

Closed

Heroes 2C is a project which blends the interests of maritime heritage and social inclusion, by using three ships at different stages of reconstruction to raise the interest and develop skills of the community in the maritime sector. The three partners involved in boat restoration are joined by a fourth partner specialised in employment and training aspects. The Medway Queen, the Jean Bart and the New Belgica used to have different purposes (war, commercial and research) and will be restored by professional ship-builders and newly trained socially-excluded people. During the course of the project, the partners will open their doors to young people by developing educational and training activities to pass on their technical knowledge and share their fascination for the Maritime sector with students and trainees. To enhance tourism, the partners will also open access to the actual reconstruction so that the public can witness the workers in action and learn about the history in the visitor centres.
