Adopt a School:
Many seafarers will remember the Ship Adoption Society that linked individual schools to ships, opening the world to children in those schools. Members of the MNA have agreed to adapt this and adopt a new initiative with one or more schools in their local communities.
Appreciation, even knowledge, of the UK’s maritime heritage of exploration and trade across thousands of miles of ocean offers an exciting and hugely rewarding story of adventure and technological advance. Many would say the ship was at the forefront of every chapter in our County’s technical advance and trade was the wealth that built a nation; the social and economical history that also built an imperfect but benevolent empire…contrast and compare.
The MNA continues to campaign for wider recognition of our maritime heritage and our ‘Adopt a School’ policy hopes to contribute to a positive change in perception of how our country developed such a significant role in the development of world trade and the seafarers who made a difference to how we live our lives today.
