There is good news at Siu-Tsiu. Thanks to support from the ANT Foundation, we are now able to acquire a new POCA dinghy for Siu-Tsiu in Qaqortoq.
The boat will become an important part of our daily work with young people in South Greenland. It will be used for fishing and training, nature- and community-based excursions, practical work assignments and transportation, as well as activities related to the operation and development of Greenland’s only greenhouse nursery, which Siu-Tsiu has been fortunate to take over and further develop.
At the same time, the boat will serve as a hands-on learning environment where young people can gain experience in maritime work, sea safety, responsibility, and teamwork. Our experience in Tasiilaq has shown that activities at sea can strengthen well-being, a sense of community, and confidence in one’s own abilities. Several young people have subsequently completed sea safety and maritime training courses and gained valuable experience that can support them in both education and employment.
We are very much looking forward to bringing the boat to Qaqortoq and putting it into use as early as this autumn.
A big thank you to the ANT Foundation for making this project possible.
