The global maritime industry moves over 80% of the world’s goods, yet its processes often go unseen. This creates gaps in understanding—from port delays to environmental impact. Our 3D diorama makes these hidden steps visible, showing how containers travel from factories to your hands. Both educational and interactive, it brings global trade to life while sparking conversation about the challenges and importance of shipping today.
Follow these simple steps to bring the world of global trade to life. From building paper-cut models to moving cargo across the seas, each stage will guide you through the journey of container shipping—fun, fast, and hands-on!
Form Teams – Participants are divided into small groups.
Assemble Models – Each team folds and builds simple paper-cut miniatures (containers, trucks, warehouses, ships).
Set the Scene – Teams place their models at the correct points on the diorama map.
Follow the Cargo – As the facilitator tells the story of a shipment, teams move their miniatures step by step across the trade route.
Wrap-Up – The facilitator reviews all eight stages of shipping and links them to real-world maritime challenges.
Join us on this journey and see how the world’s goods travel from factories to your hands. Step into the game, move the pieces, and discover the hidden story of global trade—your adventure in shipping starts here!
