What is Peace Boat?
Peace Boat is a forty-year-old international non-governmental organization striving to build a culture of peace worldwide by connecting people across borders and creating opportunities for learning, activism, and cooperation. We achieve this through programs where people worldwide participate in voyages onboard the Peace Boat. Peace Boat works in Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC, and uses the ship as a platform to promote the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Peace Boat is also a steering member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), winner of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.

Programs combine learning, activism, advocacy, and travel, enabling participants to learn first-hand about global issues such as war, environmental degradation, gender violence, and other issues. From local communities to global advocacy networks, participants experience grassroots peace-building efforts to find non-violent, creative, and constructive solutions.
Given the wealth of opportunities that Peace Boat participants have to interact with people from around the world, they must be equipped with the language skills necessary to make that interaction as fulfilling and meaningful as possible. To meet this need, English and Spanish language classes are offered on each Peace Boat voyage, two of the most widely spoken communication languages on the regular routes. We have also seen Russian, Vietnamese, Cantonese, French, Portuguese, Korean, and Swahili classes on previous voyages. Peace Boat's onboard language program is GET (Global English / Espanol Training).

GET is a communication-based program that aims to improve students' communicative ability and instill confidence in using English and/or Spanish through a dynamic combination of onboard classroom study, language-based events and activities, and exchange programs in ports of call. Furthermore, the GET Programme embraces the concept of Global Language - language, which is used daily around the world as a tool of communication between people from different cultures and countries. For teachers, the program offers the opportunity to work with a great deal of autonomy, using their creativity both in and out of the classroom while enjoying the unique Peace Boat experience.
