Would you like to use your language teaching skills to help build a global culture of peace while seeing the world simultaneously?

Applications for the upcoming 120th Global Voyage are now open!

The Global English/Español Training Programme is Peace Boat's English and Spanish school. On our voyages, this program is run by international teams of passionate volunteer teachers who inspire our students to use language to connect with people worldwide.

Peace Boat's language training program, GET, is now accepting applications for English and Spanish language teachers for the 120th Global Voyage, which departs from Yokohama, Japan, on April 23, 2025, and returns 108 days later to Yokohama on August 8, 2025. This voyage will offer the opportunity to experience very different and equally striking scenery around the world, including travel through two types of fjords - the verdant valleys with lush vegetation in Norway and the snow-covered fjords of Alaska with glaciers glistening under sunlight. Applications will remain open through December 2, 2024, close of business JST. Interviews will be conducted online from December 16th-20th JST. If you want more information, you can download our application pack or email us. http://peaceboat.org/english/volunteer/GET-volunteer

Do you know what's involved?

Peace Boat's onboard language program, GET (Global English/Español Training), is a communication-based program that aims to improve students' confidence and communicative ability in English and/or Spanish through a dynamic combination of onboard classwork, language-based events and activities, and exchange programs in ports of call. Through GET, Peace Boat participants can acquire the necessary language skills to make their voyage as memorable and meaningful as possible. 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.
