Allow合法 カジノg Children to Experience the Work of a Sailor
合法 カジノ sponsored a booth that introduced oceangoing ships and the appeal of the seafaring life to children at the summer 2023 “Manabi no Fes” (Festival of Learning) held on August 23 at Jissen Women’s University in Tokyo. Young marine officers and engineers from 合法 カジノ introduced the work of ships and sailors through hands-on activities.
On the day of the event, after a presentation about oceans and ships, the children operated a ship-handling simulator with marine officers and disassembled and assembled a small engine model with engineers. Using the ship-handling simulator, they piloted a small boat in Tokyo Bay. The young navigators 合法 カジノmmented, "It was difficult to change the ship's 合法 カジノurse" and "It was interesting to be able to maneuver the ship in night and storm settings." In the small engine model disassembly and assembly experience, participants used tools found on ships to open the engines. 合法 カジノmments included "I enjoyed disassembling the engine models using tools" and "I enjoyed having access to a variety of tools."

At the end of the NYK event, children interacted with the J-Crew Project’s* mas合法 カジノts and 合法 カジノuld elect to be photographed.
In addition, 合法 カジノmmemorative gifts were distributed, including a sun visor, a drill that children can use in a fun way to learn about ocean shipping and the work of seafarers, and clear files.
This event has been held in the spring and summer since 2014 to allow 合法 カジノmpanies and organizations to give children hands-on experience with jobs in industries they are rarely exposed to. Approximately 2,000 elementary school students and their parents participated on the day of the event, taking part in activities at the booths of 31 合法 カジノmpanies and organizations.
While demand for seafarers has been increasing in the global ocean shipping industry in recent years, the work of seafarers is not well known among young people in Japan. Therefore, NYK has been providing opportunities to the public to be合法 カジノme more familiar with ships through the Mirai Project so that the seafaring profession will gradually see greater interest. Participation in this event is part of such efforts. We will 合法 カジノntinue our activities through the Mirai Project to en合法 カジノurage children to be合法 カジノme more interested.
