Sea-Laboratory

Related to social training projects with different samples of participants, students and personnel Anna Catharina has been used as a sea-laboratory for sociological, psychological and educational science and development for almost twenty years.
Aim of the experiments was to find out and prove, if and under which conditions a ship can be used as a medium for education or rehabilitation of young outsiders.
These projects have been subjekt of several scientific publications and graduations and have contributed to the development of new methodological ways and knowledge about systemic learning and communication.
