Irene Notias, the founder and director of Project Connect in Greece, speaks on “Fair Winds and Following Seas” on Voice of Greece.
She shares insights into ten years of continuous work to bridge the gap between the younger generation and the world of shipping. She discusses the importance of the initiative, how it all began, what inspired her to launch it, its journey over the past decade, and how it has been embraced by students, educators, and the maritime community.
“Project Connect celebrates ten years of presence and impact in Greece this year.
Since 2015, the organization has highlighted the importance of connecting youth with the shipping industry through innovative educational programs—such as the ‘Adopt a Ship’ initiative—leaving a strong social and educational imprint,” Ms. Notias notes.
