Rowing Ireland’s seven Young Women in Leadership participants came together on Saturday 3rd October for a successful in-person workshop, marking the halfway point of their programme.
With all seven participants in attendance, the workshop was a welcome opportunity to connect in person, share ideas and continue developing their leadership skills alongside young women from other sports.
Delivered with Move2B, the Young Women in Leadership programme supports participants to build confidence, explore their strengths and recognise the contribution they can make within their clubs and wider sporting communities. It creates space for young women to find their voices and consider how they can help shape the future of sport.
The in-person workshop brought that learning to life through discussion and group activities, with participants working together and considering different perspectives.
Supporting young women to become leaders is an important part of Rowing Ireland’s Women in Sport work. By providing opportunities to learn, connect and develop, we aim to help girls see a future for themselves in rowing, both on the water and in roles that influence the sport.
Congratulations to all seven participants on their engagement at this halfway stage. We look forward to supporting them through the second half of the programme and seeing how they put their learning into practice.
