Partners – SIES sail

One project. Five organization. Sailing.

In Sailing Club Ljubljana, there is a long tradition in recreational, travel and sports sailing. Sailing at sea with a base in Piran dates back to 1950.

We successfully participate in many northern Adriatic regattas and run autumn and spring sailing courses, where we have already trained over 5000 students how to sail, as well as a training program with a VHF radio station for the GMDSS area. In the northern Adriatic, we have been organizing a traditional Šavrinska regatta for the 51th year in September 2025. We also offer a sailing course for children aged 7 to 14, which takes place in April and May on Ljubljanica River. All instructors at JKL have many years of experience in teaching sailing. All our activities follow important values such as respecting human rights and equal opportunities, fighting against discrimination, active citizenship and participation in society.

Ada Sailing Club takes place at a location with 100 years old sailing history. The club follows the tradition of competitive sailing and innovates educational sailing programs for all ages and categories.

Besides competing on a national and international level, Ada Sailing Club promotes sailing as a sport, recreation and a way of life, conducts training programs for different levels and needs of their students, and organizes regattas and events. It supports the activities of the Sailing Association of Serbia and the Sailing Association of Belgrade.

Clubs co-mission is a contribution to environmentally responsible behavior in the community, supporting an eco-friendly way of life on the water, and preserving the biodiversity considering its location on the protected territory of the “mali vranac” bird habitat.

The Lega Navale Italiana, founded in La Spezia in 1897, brings together citizens who voluntarily work to spread, especially among young people, knowledge and love for the sea, knowledge of the marine environment and the use of the sea as a didactic and training tool for the person, supporting nautical activities and developing suitable cultural, sporting, environmental and naturalistic initiatives. All of this is achieved with the full support of public administrations and CONI’s sports federations. The Rome Tor Vergata University Delegation pursues the statutory purposes and the fulfillment of services of public interest.

Aero Purjetajate Liit (Union of Aero Sailors) is a Non-profit sailing organisation. The organization is located in Tallinn, but sailors are all around from Estonia. The mission of Aero Purjetajate Liit is to make sailing more accessible to people and make it a lifelong habit.

APL has two target groups: Young sailors, who are looking for an attractive and developing yacht class, with which it is possible to actively participate in competitions and acquire lifelong skills, to learn how to set goals and implement these purposefully. And adult sailors, who have sailed in the past, but who have since stopped doing the hobby and want to start sailing regularly again.

AERO is an ideal class in terms of price, competition and training calendar, but requires sufficient physical effort to enjoy the activity. We have been joined by the generation of “Estonian previous top sailors”, who have previously competed in other yacht classes at the WC and EC level, and in recent years we have won more than 5 medals in the RS Aero class. Older sailors are role models and mentors for the young sailors, through which we develop a “new generation of top sailors” in Estonia. The goal of the 2023 APL is: “Let’s Make Aero Great”, as a result of which there is a plan to grow AERO into a monotype yacht class with the largest number of boats and sailors in Estonia. At the beginning of 2023, there were 18 AERO’s boats in Estonia, then by the end of March this number has increased to 40, and by the end of 2023 the plan is to increase the fleet to 50.

The Association for the Culture of Inclusion is a non-governmental organization, which means it operates independently of the state. The purpose and mission of the Association are humanitarian activities, education, and the active development of an inclusive culture. Our goal is also to advocate for the rights of children, adolescents, and adults with special needs, as well as children and adolescents with typical development. In this context, we primarily support their development and successful inclusion in organized educational settings and the wider community.

The Association is proud to operate as an organization acting in the public interest in the fields of education and sports. In 2023, we also obtained the status of an organization for people with disabilities.
