Curious about skateboarding? Come try it out, express yourself, and move freely with others!
Skateboarding transcends borders as a global culture that connects diverse communities through shared passion and creativity, embodying a common heritage of freedom and expression. This workshop invites participants to explore skateboarding not just as a sport, but as a dynamic cultural movement that encourages self-expression, creativity, and collaboration. Through hands-on sessions, attendees will learn basic skateboarding skills, practice tricks, and discover how the skateboarding community fosters connection across different backgrounds.
The workshop also highlights the important roles and rights of women in skateboarding—both historically and today—particularly in the Mediterranean, promoting visibility and empowerment in a space traditionally dominated by men. Participants will gain insight into how skateboarding can challenge social norms, celebrate diversity, and create inclusive spaces where everyone can move freely, express themselves, and be part of a vibrant global community.

The organization’s mission is to transcend social barriers, combat discrimination, and build solidarity among young people of diverse backgrounds, providing a safe and inclusive environment where participants can develop confidence, forge friendships, and cultivate a sense of belonging, while promoting well-being, social cohesion, and the strength of diversity both on and off the board.
