Port of Our Times
active 21 hours, 58 minutes agoPort of Our Times is an international educational and cultural project for young people from Poland (PL), Sweden (SE), and Finland (FI), centered around a sailing voyage on the tall ship “Zawisza Czarny” along the route Gdynia (PL) – Visby (SE) – Helsinki (FI). The lead organizer is the Association of Friends of the Scout Song and Dance Ensemble “Dzieci Płocka”.
The project aims to create a space for reflection and dialogue on shared values, regional history, and the future of the Baltic Sea region. The voyage will become a symbolic “time machine,” linking past, present, and future through the perspective of its young participants.
While the project is implemented in the ports of three countries (PL, SE, FI), it is open to youth from all countries of the Baltic Sea region, encouraging broader international participation and collaboration.
During the journey, the youth will participate in on-board workshops, meetings, and integration activities. Key topics include: peace and cooperation, Baltic cultural heritage, climate change, solidarity, civic engagement, and the role of youth in today’s world. In Visby and Helsinki, partner events with local organizations will be held.
The project aligns with Priority 1 of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme – Innovative Societies, enhancing the social, intercultural, and civic competencies of young people while strengthening transnational cooperation in the region. It also supports the goals of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) in the areas of “Connect the Region” and “Increase Prosperity.”
Project outcomes will include a youth-led report summarizing their voice, a documentary film from the voyage, an educational toolkit, and a sustained network of youth organizations from PL, SE, FI, and potentially other Baltic Sea countries
