Marie Drouet is deeply committed to a world shaped by peace, equity and respect for human dignity. She has travelled to many countries with her husband and children, and these journeys have strengthened her understanding of cultures, communities and the daily realities faced by young generations around the world. Marie is now developing a school concept for young children to be implemented in developing countries. The project is based on her own educational philosophy: every child is a whole human being, naturally rich in curiosity, imagination and creativity. She believes learning should come from meaningful experiences that invite exploration, cooperation and artistic expression. Teachers guide gently, respecting each child’s rhythm while helping them build solid and joyful foundations in life. Through Sail for Ethics, Marie looks to reach communities across the world and bring this educational vision to places where it can support children’s growth and strengthen local resilience.

Georges Drouet has spent nearly four decades working as a communication and development consultant across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Throughout his career, he has supported international programmes focused on governance, climate resilience and social change, collaborating with institutions and communities to design communication strategies and strengthen public engagement. His connection to the sea, however, goes back to his early years. Georges studied traditional boat carpentry at the AFPA in Auray, Brittany, and later worked as a carpenter on La Cancalaise, the celebrated replica of a 1905 bisquine, helping revive an emblematic piece of maritime heritage. Sail for Ethics is where these two paths meet: a deep understanding of development realities and a lifelong passion for the sea. Georges created the project to support coastal communities by promoting more sustainable maritime transport, fishing and tourism through hybrid sail-and-engine solutions.
