Johan Kegler

With Ocean College, Johan realizes his conviction that learning must above all happen practically. Johan has already accompanied the voyage himself twice as a teacher and project manager and therefore knows the route and life on the ship from his own experience. Since then, the potential of an educational concept on a traditional sailing ship has never left him. Johan is convinced that the classic school system no longer comes close to preparing students for the world of life and work in the 21st century.
