Project Description
AlumniKUS e.V. – School Ship Thor Heyerdahl
We enable children from financially disadvantaged familes to take part in the “Classroom under Sail” on board the Thor Heyerdahl. During the winter, from October to the end of April the Thor Heyerdahl is the campus for the school project “KUS” which is being carried out by the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Pupils in 10th grade spend 6 months of the year on board the three mast schooner the Thor Heyerdahl and abroad. They are given real responsibilities and work running the ship, conduct research during stays on land in different countries experiencing different cultures and attend classes on board and on land.
