🚣♂️ An amazing “Moving Without Barriers” practical workshop is behind us! 🌊
Yesterday (May 29), the long-awaited field-training part of the program for our volunteers took place at the Malta Regatta Course in Poznań! We are working within the framework of the European Erasmus+ Sport project, and yesterday proved that we are ready for major challenges. 🔥
There was one goal: to perfectly prepare our team to support athletes with intellectual disabilities during the upcoming 2026 ICF Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe World Championships in Poznań. 🌍🛶
Theory (which we explored in March) is the foundation, but yesterday we focused on 100% practical training! What happened by the water?
🗣️ Communication without barriers: Under the guidance of the irreplaceable instructor Izabela Dylewska, we practiced communicating in plain language, responding to stress and sensory overload, and simulated challenging situations.
🦺 On-the-water activities and water rescue: We worked directly with lifeguards and technical staff. We practiced safety support, safe movement on the docks, and assisted with simulations of getting into and out of kayaks.
📋 Top-level organization and logistics: We tested radio communication, monitored functional zones, and practiced emergency response procedures.
Our volunteers demonstrated tremendous commitment, empathy, and excellent teamwork within their task groups. We have built a strong and cohesive team that proves sport is a space for absolutely everyone — #MovingWithoutBarriers is not just the name of our project, it is our real action! 💪💙
