Traditional Maritime Skills

Closed

The TMS partnership’s purpose is to preserve traditional boatbuilding skills in the 2 Seas programme area for the long term, by collecting and recording these skills, promoting their use in traditional and modern boatbuilding and increasing the number of people pursuing education and a career in boat building. The partners brought together their different experiences, specifically to record and benefit from the preservation of boatbuilding skills in the 2 Seas area, and to take advantage of their potential for the development of the zone. The partners will jointly record traditional boatbuilding skills from the remaining experts in all four countries of the 2 Seas programme area. The crossborder promotion scheme will advocate the potential contribution of traditional boat building skills to the socio-economic development of the participating regions. The partners will also develop a flexible training framework for transferring the recorded traditional boatbuilding skills that can be implemented by relevant educational institutes in different countries.
