The ISEN University center of Cartagena, a center attached to the University of Murcia, hosts this Monday the launch meeting of the Erasmus + 'All Hand On Deck' project, coordinated by the UMU, whose objective is to recover and boost the riverside carpentry profession in Europe.
The works are funded by 298,875 euros and ends in December 2021.
The working days in which experts in the field participate, which will continue in the center for two days, have been opened by the Vice Chancellor for Research and Internationalization of the University of Murcia, Senena Corbalán, the Admiral Chief of the Military Arsenal of Cartagena , Aniceto Rosique Nieto, and the general director of ISEN University Center, Luis Cruz Miravet.
The Vice Chancellor for Research and Internationalization of the UMU has indicated that it is a project "in which the University of Murcia participates together with other European countries, with the collaboration of the technological center of the madroll of Yecla, in which we will work to develop a series of tools to refloat the carpentry of Ribera ".
In his opinion, it is a very important initiative to protect part of the cultural and labor heritage of Europe that is about to become extinct.
The ALL HANDS ON DECK Strategic Association 'European work heritage in shipwright for present and future' is coordinated by Juan José Sánchez Baena, director of the Department of Naval History and Heritage of the University of Murcia, and has 6 institutional partners from 5 countries Europeans: Spain, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Poland.
The Technology and Furniture and Wood Center (CETEM) of the Region of Murcia has joined the initiative.
Sánchez Baena has explained that the project goes through three phases.
The first one "will be aimed at recovering the carpentry of ships, one of the oldest works in Europe, generating a digital repository from the past to the present that collects all the documentation."
Another of the objectives that the project has set is to "adapt to the new times, creating a training and specialization course on the carpentry of riverside aimed at training people in nearby sectors and thus reducing the unemployment rates of people over 45 years. "
Sánchez Baena adds that "in a third phase it is intended to generate a training course for trainers."
It is, in short, to guarantee the transfer of knowledge to young generations and promote an eco-sustainable, profitable profession that contributes to creating economic fabric in coastal populations.
