Isle of Wight Microsite > Isle of the Wight and GMIV

GMIV and Isle of Wight is sponsoring Gipsy Moth as premier partner, and she carries our logo on her sail around the world. This sponsorship works in many ways – it gives us the opportunity to promote the Island internationally, helps us work with young people to encourage them and provide new challenges for them, and it allows us to support the marine heritage which the Island is so famous for.
We work closely with Gipsy Moth to support the work being done in schools, and help support the exhibition wagon that travels round the UK promoting the tour.

 

GMIV-Delivering on all fronts

The project is delivering major value in all of the following areas:

  • Window on the world through the eyes of the young adults onboard.
  • Educational resources available for schools worldwide covering the areas of reading, writing, science, geography, history, culture and music.
  • Establishing a global network for schools to contribute and leverage educational content through the project's web site.
  • Providing a global community through the GMIV Forum where young people form around the world can talk others in 'their language'.
  • Undertaking research into the world oceans, marine wildlife and endangered species
  • Live video and telephone conferencing into school direct from the yacht.
