Project design
"Coastal rowing Bringing all generations together" - project primary objective is to bring young and old people from less-developed countries and link it with a coastal rowing club in Italy, which has vast knowledge and quality equipment.
Innovative aspects
This project aims to reverse the present paradoxical situation regarding the sport of rowing in some countries with a historically strong maritime tradition on Mediterranean and Baltic Sea, like Italy, Croatia, Cyprus and Poland.
Project objectives
This project aims to bring together a number of club coaches and sports/managing directors from 4 clubs with the primary objective to teach them new - coastal rowing - skills, which are different than those they already have.
To become a good coastal rower, a person must be aware of waves, tides, currents and topography
