Peace Boat: Teach on this famous Ship and Travel the World!
Peace Boat is a world wide organization with its main office in Japan. The goal is to develop connections between groups that advocate peace worldwide. It is a great organization and I hope to work on the peace boat as a volunteer teacher one day!
Have you ever taught or traveled on this famous ship? If so share your stories! Read More Below Have you ever been on the Peace Boat?Tell us what it was like to travel the world and teach or study on the Peace Boat. Share it! Imagine if you will....an around the world trip for free. Your accommodation and food provided....the only catch. You must volunteer to teach English. Seems like a fair trade to me, and then some! I have been wanting to go on this very famous boat for a number of years now. But we have three young children so I really can`t be away for so long. But perhaps you can. Attending a lecture on the about this peaceful ship at Tokai University,I thought what an experience it would be to sail the sea, meet people from all over the world, while teaching English....I dream. A former employee of mine said the work was hard--harder than at my school, but she enjoyed the trip and felt it was well worth it. The organization is a Japan-based international non-governmental and non-profit organization that works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment. The organization seeks to create awareness and action based on effecting positive social and political change in the world. They pursue this through the organization of global educational programmes, responsible travel, cooperative projects and advocacy activities. These activities are carried out on a partnership basis with other civil society organizations and communities in Japan, Northeast Asia, and around the world. Most of the time, the organization carries out its main activities through a chartered passenger ship that travels the world on peace voyages. The ship creates a neutral, mobile space and enables people to engage across borders in dialogue and mutual cooperation at sea, and in the ports that we visit. Activities based on Japan and Northeast Asia are carried out from our eight Peace Centers in Japan. --from the Peace Boat`s official website 
I recommend being a volunteer teacher on this ship. You will work hard but I think most people would enjoy the experience of teaching a language and travelling around the world with a great group of people. I know I would love to do this one day!You are not paid, but get your room and board for free in exchange for teaching a language. But the best things in life are free right?! The Peace Boat is always looking for volunteer teachers. Visit the good ship`s homepage. a Japanese NGO is looking for dynamic, experienced English and Spanish teachers to take part in a global peace voyage. Positions are volunteer, but room and board are covered. Peace Boat has voyages three times per year. Some are around the world, and some are shorter trips in Asia.
