Education Projects
The university and colleges in Cornwall are making the most of the visiting Tall Ships, using the event and the experiences offered as a valuable educational tool. Listed below are details of the various projects taking place.
The Tall Ships’ Diaries
University College Falmouth’s journalism students are researching, writing and publishing a magazine called ‘The Tall Ships’ Diaries’. Some of the students will join the Regatta as trainees to report on the race first hand. A website will include daily blogs, photo’s and video clips. So, if you want to find out what it is like to participate in a Tall Ship’s race, visit their website. We’ll create a link from here once it goes live.

Catalyst Business Interchange
A national pilot project called Catalyst Business Interchange, which gives teachers the opportunity to access business placements, will result in students from Cornwall College gaining some real work experience at the Funchal 500 Tall Ships Regatta at Falmouth in September.
Cornwall College Lecturer Suzette Sadler will spend three days in April working with Carrick District Council's Tourism Officer, Sam Groom, to update her knowledge of all aspects of event management. Staff from the tourism service will pay a reciprocal visit to the college in June to work with the students and provide training so that they can steward at the Regatta.
