Many classes have gone by since we started this program, and of course kids abilities both on the board and in their lives have increased greatly.
Last month we visited a local skate-park where they faced their own fears and dared to go down a ramp and practice some of the skills they’ve mastered on the local park on a real skaters paradise, it was great to mix with other skaters that share their same passion for boards and interact on and off the board.
During the last classes we’ve made a new innovation on the workshop by mixing basketball and skateboarding, a brand new sport, where from the boards they pass the ball into the hoops, a new challenge that is on the way of becoming a hit sport during this summer!
On an organizational level, this November 10 we will be hosting our first festival, the “Happy Cities Festival” that intends to inspire the community into thinking the type of city that we live in and how we can work to improve it. We will also be showing our work there, so if you, or anyone you know happens to be in Rosario during that date, please stop by!
If you have any questions, remarks or ideas please contact me luz.amuchastegui@eldesafio.org and if you haven´t done it yet, join our facebook fanpage where we share day to day information.
