Which Better Garnier Or Olay?

May 13 - All in the same boat








The pool for Membership rowing adapted "All in the same boat," is an association formed by three rowing clubs in the city: Adria Canoe, Canoe Saturnia, Canoe Trieste, el 'Cultural Association "A key to the mind. Institute for Development and the' integration ".

The Association promotes sporting activity pool with a program of integration of children with different abilities. The educational goal is achieved through the principles of the Feuerstein Method which is based on mediation, with the conviction that human beings can be varied in a positive and educational relationships that can lead to useful changes in the operator so as reciprocal to the user. The operator will find strategies to capture the concepts that serve to activate the motor coordination needed for rowing, but will also aim to promote the skills needed in society and the growth expectations of achieving success, boosting confidence in themselves and their ability to get involved.

The initiative, including the two and a half years of experience, is being pursued through the work of young volunteers who, in turn, engaged at first in sport as athletes racing teams. All the young volunteers are supervised by professional operators constantly present as points of reference, advice and support.

integration between peers with different abilities led us to reflect on the concept of integration, stimulating our desire to reach out to neighboring countries. We therefore invited boys Slovenia and Croatia, creating opportunities for cultural exchange and intervention methods which we hope will be the beginning of a wider future collaboration.
