Reflections
Through this camp, I learnt more about sustainability and the UNSDGs. This allowed me to truly see the how the connections between partnership among all countries will help to achieve the UNSDGs. Given the chance, I would definitely wish to further expand my knowledge about the UNSDGs together with the students I met during my journey in Japan.
This camp was a great experience where I got to meet new people and learn from different cultures. Spending three days on a ship was exciting and gave me a fresh perspective on life at sea. The week was a perfect mix of having fun and learning new things.
This trip has taught me many things. For example, it taught be how to socialise with people from different backgrounds who speaks different languages and also it taught me how to operate engine. It was also the first time I knew a hybrid ship existed as I have never been taught about it in school. The trip also helped me experience an unforgettable experience where I was able to live onboard a ship, live in a dormitory and best part is that there were friends made along the way. Friends from there are the best friends I have ever made although it's only been a short 7 days, the friends we made will last forever.
On the first day, I had regrets and second thoughts on coming on this trip. But after everything, I only wish that the camp had been longer than it was. I met many great people and formed connections with the other international students. Overall, it was a great experience that I would want to relive again, and I cannot wait to revisit Japan and meet my new friends!
This camp has been extremely memorable for me. I have made so many new friends from different backgrounds. The ship training gave me insights to my future as a deck officer as well as a better perspective on what goes on in the engine room and engine control room. I learned a lot more about UNSDGs and how different countries are working towards these goals. I truly appreciate everyone who has made this trip possible, and I would love to go again!
