This proposal results from the meeting of IBO Italia with the association of social promotion I Tetragonauti ( The tetragonauts, born in 2003, that today consists of professionals and volunteers in the pedagogical-educational and marine experience field. The main goal of the tetragonauts is to realise interventions and socio-educational projects directed to minors, minors with fewer opportunities and difficulties and to people with disabilities by identifying in the marine and sailing environment the privileged contexts and tools of ones own work.The project involves therefore a volunteering experience on board of a sailing boat. Why should I do this experience? To travel on the sea has strong educative and formative characteristics: to go by sea enables to discover different horizonts and possibilities, passions and interests, helps to gain new knowledge and stimulates the discovery of new parts of oneself.

Being surrounded by the sea, day and night, will make you feel the deep connection with the nature.

The activities will foresee the alternation of moments on board and on land. During the week there will be carried out cleaning and maintenance work of the beaches and the trekking paths of the places that will be reached by boat. There will be given much importance to the matter of using plastic and plastic in the sea as part of the project Back to Life. In addition, life on board will be managed communally throughout cooking and cleaning shifts. Through the nutritional pyramid and the exchange of typical recipies from the home countries there will be spoken of dietary education and interculture. Thanks to the partnership with Banco Alimentare Toscana we will also face the topic of dietary sustainability, policies and good behaviors to avoid the waste of food. Every day will begin with a muscular awakening: some simple physical exercises to start to move yourself. During navigating everyone will be involved as part of the crew in the maneuvers (helm, sails, anchor) and in some ba
