przeczytajcie w nowym "Naszym MORZU" - jakimi wspaniałymi i trafnymi działaniami w zakresie popularyzacji spraw morskich może się pochwalić (w wypowiedzi jej szefa, a zarazem dyr. Urzędu Morskiego) Liga Morska i Rzeczna (de facto tylko rzeczna)...

W Wyszkowie mamy Orkiestrę Nadbużańską im. podporucznika marynarki Kazimierza Deptuły. Orkiestra, chociaż ma dopiero 1,5 roku, już znalazła się na festiwalu w Złoczowie na Ukrainie i tam dumnie reprezentowała nie tylko Ligę Morską i Rzeczną, ale także Polskę.
- rzeczywiście... orkiestra - "pierwsza potrzeba" w edukacji morskiej...
zobaczcie, jaka "wartościowa", "świetna" i jak "bogata" w treści stricte morsko-edukacyjne jest witryna WWW Ligi Morskiej...

(może się WRESZCIE wzięli za nową wersję, bo chwilowo strona się nie ładuje... - może trwaja prace, bo to, co było dotąd było BEZNADZIEJNE)
jeżeli cokolwiek w Polsce pomaga (chcący lub niechcący - pośrednio) rozwojowi rynku czytelniczego i popytu na czasopisma wojenno-morskie i o statkach handlowych, to NA PEWNO nie jest to Liga Morska...
CMM też prawie g.... robi w kierunku edukacji o znaczeniu morza "dla ludzkości", dla gospodarki, dla życia przeciętnego Kowalskiego... i edukacji nt. morskich tradycji Polski...
(takie rzeczy, jak wystawa o Piłsudskim to kropla zarówno w morzu potrzeb, jak i w morzu możliwości, bo możliwości (osobowe - "roboczo-godzinne") CMM są za bardzo skierowane na tematy NIE MORSKIE...)
a na świecie - np. Smithsonian:

to wkurzające, że ludzie zabierający się do morskiego edukowania (organizatorzy olimpiady nautologicznej)
wśród
literatury polecanej jako materiały pomocne w przygotowywaniu się do uczestnictwa w olimpiadzie umieszczają
takiego knota jak
ta książka Mąki
publikacje Pani Marszałek (w towarzystwach wzajemnej adoracji uważanej za jedną z "flagowych jednostek", za "guru" edukacji morskiej)
też są bardzo słabe i wprowadzające często w błąd...
to wkurzające, że ci od olimpiady nautologicznej nie zalecają czytania w miarę dobrej / przyzwoitej literatury (np. "Pod Biało-Czerwoną..." Piwowońskiego albo pół-albumowa książka o polskich transatlantykach Drzemczewskiego) oraz wiodącej, bardzo dobrej literatury (np. "Księga Statków Polskich" Micińskiego, Hurasa, Twardowskiego, czy np. książka o Darze Pomorza Twardowskiego)
a co robią ci nieliczni KOMPETENTNI (i nawet chyba znajdujący się w gronie użytkowników FOW) shiploverzy - organizatorzy olimpiady nautologicznej na poziomie gimnazjów i członkowie Ligi Morskiej, że dotąd przez tyle czasu nie zwrócili dotąd uwagi kierownictwu organizacyjnemu olimpiady, że
ta lista przynajmniej w 1/3 jest żenadna i powinna być poprawiona ?...

poniżej wspomniano problemy (czasem rozwiązania do zastosowania), z których już zaczęły sobie zdawać sprawę "przemysły morskie" na świecie / "na Zachodzie"...
do nas taka świadomość niestety NIE jeszcze dotarła...
Selling shipping to children
If the shipping industry is ever to reconnect with the general population, which is so ignorant about it, there is arguably a need to start with the basics; which means children, who are more likely than adults to be responsive to messages about the magic of ships and marine transport. So somehow we need to boil down the fascinating facts about maritime technology into a dish that will interest the young. And there are many ways of presenting this.
Shipping could be served up to young people as part of the school syllabus. Geography and even history can demonstrate the importance of ships and sea power throughout the ages. There is a keen interest in the environment at present and there are many aspects of marine transport that can be applied to this enthusiasm, from the basics of meteorology to the more sustainable methods of moving around goods and people, in which shipping has a remarkably good record, and nothing of which it should be ashamed.
But it is the spectacular nature of shipping, its amazing technology and propensity for engaging the “wow” factor that is its real advantage in attracting young people. What is the world’s biggest mechanically propelled moving object? A ship! Children love facts and figures; they have a natural curiosity and interest in the biggest, the fastest, the most powerful, the most expensive. The tools of the shipping industry can fascinate children.
But they need to have these subjects presented in an attractive fashion. They want to know how things work. They want to see first class artwork, exploded drawings, good video and animation. They want excellent books and charts, exciting illustrations and lively explanations. Is anyone producing such material? Something that leaps off the shelves? Something that is good for the gift-market? Not long ago a shipowner complained that he could not find any “marine” toys for his young children, and it is a very valid point. There are, he noted by contrast, any number of model trains and train sets, cars and trucks of every description, but very few toy ships. Where is the model QM2 or Emma Maersk that small children can push around the carpet?
A good start would be a series of little books about ships and shipping, with an appealing set of characters, that lends itself to TV programmes and product placement. Just think about the international success of Thomas the Tank Engine, or Bob the Builder. It needs some imagination and knowledge of ships and shipping and, dare we suggest, some enterprise and investment. It is sowing the seeds of interest and awareness that can be cultivated and grown on as children mature. It will teach them that ships are part of modern life, that they depend on them for all the things they need and that they can be a source of interest and an encouragement to ambition.
Shipping in the school syllabus
How can we convey something of the interest and fascination of ships and shipping to a new generation? How can we make children and young people aware of the contribution that shipping has made, and continues to make , to their lives? These are important questions, and are asked a lot as shipping people worry about how to recruit their own replacements.
Is it possible to persuade educationalists to include something of maritime trade and transport in their various syllabuses? But even in so-called maritime nations, there has been something of a reluctance to do this, not least because for teachers, like anyone else, shipping tends to be below their everyday horizon.
But it could be introduced to quite young children as part of their geography work, as they learn about the interdependence of nations, and where their food and manufactured goods come from. Shipping has a strong environmental message to convey and the younger it is given the better. Shipping is also very “visual” and properly simplified, something of its amazing technology can be illustrated.
With older children the importance of ships and shipping, command of the seas and the link between sea power and trade can be a strong component in the history syllabus. The voyages of discovery, the search for the North West Passage or the charting of unknown oceans are fascinating tales that more children need to know about. Science curricula could benefit from an “applied” message about ship stability, magnetism, even navigation.
Economics, logistics, the basics of trade are educational messages that ought to have a strong resonance in a global village where there is scarcely a person on earth whose life is untouched by merchant ships. A better understanding of the natural sciences could well be provided by more attention to the seas and oceans, their effects upon the environment and the need to protect them for the benefit of future generations.
There is a need for far more positive thinking in the provision of maritime-related learning materials. Environmental messages are strong and compelling, and the shipping industry needs to add its weight, to ensure that young people do not only receive negative aspects of ships and shipping.
The shipping world is a fascinating , important, all-encompassing study that, with a little thought, could be exported into the curriculum. The worry is that otherwise, shipping will be completely ignored, or worse, children and young people will believe it to be an industry that has a cavalier attitude towards pollution, and the environment in general and the most famous ship in the world will continue to be that terrible maiden voyage failure - the Titanic!
Encouraging maritime media
The shipping industry may be absolutely essential to the prosperity of the world, but who knows about it? Are there stories about ships and shipping in the daily papers, and when you turn on the TV is there interesting news about them? Sadly the maritime industry is rarely detected on the media radar, and usually only when there is some sad accident involving a ship.
There are no journalists or reporters in the non-specialist media who are given a brief to study ships and shipping, and if there a transport reporter appointed he or she will spend all their time writing about road congestion or rail problems. Shipping may move more than 90% of all the world’s cargo, but it is pretty well invisible to the media.
Which is a great pity, as there is a magic and mystery about ships and shipping that well deserves some serious study by writers and programme makers. It is a hugely technological industry that operates some amazing ships, which include the world’s biggest man-made moving objects. The business of designing, building, financing, owning and operating these fascinating ships ought to stimulate some discussion, surely? But it rarely does!
So how do we encourage media folk to take an interest in this fascinating industry? It is a fact that “good news” of ships arriving on time as they mostly do is not the stuff of headlines, but what about some features about the amazing things ships do, and why we depend upon them - more than we have ever done. If writers are so ignorant about maritime matters, it could well be because they have never been exposed to them. But encourage such people aboard a ship and most find it a life changing experience!
What is badly needed is a successful TV drama about a ship and those aboard her. We are bored witless by hospital dramas, sordid soaps and endless detective stories with policemen and women shouting at each other in police stations. Can we not find something more enlightening with a marine theme? There are huge numbers of opportunities for worthwhile and interesting features about the shipping industry, and a need for authors to discover the subject. Just consider the average newsagents and those whole walls full of magazines - what an opportunity. And the media is vast and growing, and developing into new areas of delivery, so there are even more opportunities for shipping people to exploit.
Let’s begin with some good children’s books, as young as you like. It seems crazy that young children go wild about Thomas the Tank Engine, when steam trains are practically extinct! We have lordly liners, bustling tugs, enormous tankers and versatile vessels of all types - can no children’s author seize this opportunity, to generate interesting in ships and shipping in a new generation?
a tu jeden z przejawów / efektów uświadomienia sobie konieczności otwarcia się na opinię publiczną, na media, na młodzież ze strony biznesu morskiego:

So where better to film the show than in the cargo hold of a containership?
That’s what the BBC decided after dismissing various other industrial locations such as empty factories, which were likely to be polluted with asbestos.
That is how a television production team, film crew and a dozen youngsters aged between 12 and 14, plus their teacher, come to be staying on the ships that Maersk has laid up on Loch Striven.

jeżeli narzekamy na ubogość / mały wybór wydawnictw morskich, to powinniśmy sami próbować przyczyniać się do rozwoju rynku, rozwoju popytu na te tematy OD PODSTAW oraz POPRZEZ RÓŻNE OBSZARY zainteresowań, działalności, etc.
jak ktoś jest nauczycielem w szkole - powinien namówić i uczniów i dyrekcję szkoły na wybór MIAST PORTOWYCH jako cele wycieczek klasowych (albo promem do Szwecji), zamiast "po raz setny w historii szkoły" na Wawel czy do Warszawy...
jak ktoś z nas fotografuje - powinien "siać" tematykę morską na portalach fotograficznych...

owszem, zainteresowanych sprawami morskimi, statkami i okrętami jest ZA MAŁO w Polsce (%-owo w stosunku do populacji i w porównaniu z innymi krajami z dostępem do morza)
ale jest wśród zainteresowanych morzem grupa obecnie ROSNĄCA
- to
shipspotterzy...
oczywiście większość z nich, to
shiploverzy "niewykwalifikowani", "zieloni", "bardzo początkujący" (i niektórzy nie chcą wychodzić w sprawie statków nigdzie dalej / głębiej poza fotografowanie i kolekcjonowanie fotografii), ale w tej grupie (a tu jest troszkę młodych) jest jakiś tam potencjał do zagospodarowania jako (w przyszłości) potencjalni czytelnicy pism morskich i jako "wykfalifikowani"
shiploverzy...
oczywiście myślę tu głównie o cywilnej działce
shiploverstwa...
