In support of the Department of Education’s blended learning approach during the pandemic, PTC-CSJ Foundation produced five short videos earlier this year to serve as supplementary learning materials for Grade 6 students.
The videos are part of the Foundation’s My Ship, My World (MSMW) Project. MSMW introduces the world of shipping to young students by integrating maritime concepts into the standard curricula of Science, Math, English, and Araling Panlipunan.
Modules include practical applications of speed and distance in the shipping industry.
The videos featured Jebsen PTC’s four Captains and a Chief Engineer who discussed how concepts such as speed, distance, sound, and water consumption are applied in daily shipping operations. These Global Maritime Professionals also shared their personal experiences to inspire future maritime leaders.
MSMW is adapted from the Adopt-A-Ship Program initiated by the Cyprus Shipping Chamber (CYMEPA). The program was originally promoted by InterManager and piloted by PTC-CSJ in the Philippines in 2017. Since 2018, MSMW has been expanded by IMO Maritime Ambassador Carlos C. Salinas in coordination with DepEd and participating ship owners.
