NYK conducts maritime student exchange between Japan and Philippines
THE NYK-TDG Maritime Academy (NTMA) in the Philippines conducted a short-term student-exchange with maritime schools in Japan during September and October.
The programme was organised as part of the NYK Mirai Project, a programme of activities to foster interest in seafaring and maritime affairs.
Five students from the Hiroshima and Yuge colleges of the National Institute of Technology went to the Philippines to join activities at NTMA between September 1-11.
And from October 25 to 28, ten students from NTMA visited the National Institute of Technology's Hiroshima College.
During the visits, students attended classes and interacted with one another in English, resulting in greater stimulation and motivation among the future seafarers.
"NYK will continue this project to encourage young adults to gain a global perspective and to spark interest in the seafaring life," said the company statement.
During their visits students visited shipyards attended lectures at elementary and junior high schools, were introduced to elementary and junior high school students and took tours aboard NYK vessels, including a giant car carrier.
