25 Fijian Youth Introduced to Shipbuilding and Sailing

USP and the Uto-ni-Yalo Trust have coordinated with youth on Beqa Island to hold a workshop in Rukua Village. Five women were among the 25 participants.

Sujiro Seam, ambassador of the European Union to Fiji and the Pacific, said: “The Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership recognizes that the small island states of the Pacific are big ocean States.”

It is now necessary to move beyond single-day workshops and short-term interventions to build a systematic program of training under the Pacific Blue Shipping Partnership.
