Seminars And Conferences GSWO in collaboration with its member organisations, regularly organizes seminars and conferences to foster dialogue, share knowledge, and drive initiatives aimed at enhancing the welfare of seafarers and the broader shipping industry. These gatherings serve as platforms for discussing pressing issues, exploring solutions and promoting best practices in seafarer welfare.
A cornerstone of GSWO’s approach is the active involvement of its Regional Directors and National Coordinators. These dedicated professionals work in close collaboration with local stakeholders to organize and facilitate a variety of educational and training events. Their efforts ensure that the seminars and conferences are tailored to address the specific needs and challenges faced by seafarers in different regions.
The seminars and conferences organized by GSWO and its member organisations have had a profound impact on the maritime industry. They have led to the development of new initiatives, improvements in welfare services, and enhanced collaboration between stakeholders. The Global Seafarers Welfare Organisation through its organized seminars and conferences plays a vital role in advancing seafarer welfare.
Mental Health And Wellbeing Training The Global Seafarers Welfare Organisation (GSWO) has introduced a series of online courses aimed at enhancing the mental health and wellness of seafarers. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by individuals working onboard vessels, these courses are meticulously designed by leading medical practitioners and wellness trainers to address stress management, relaxation, and mental fitness. Life at sea presents a distinct set of challenges that can impact the mental health and overall wellness of seafarers. Prolonged periods away from home, isolation, and the demanding nature of maritime work can contribute to stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues. GSWO’s new online courses are crafted to provide effective solutions and support tailored to the needs of those working in this high-pressure environment.
