Our flagship Women's Program has launched in Athens!

It's time to spill the beans and reveal what we have been working on these last months. 

Women Skate the World are now working with Free Movement Skateboarding in Athens, Greece to deliver our flagship Women's Program. The program, coordinated by Amber, will run alongside the weekly girls' skate sessions and cover topics ranging from body safety and boundaries to first aid and planet Earth and environment.The Women's Program has been designed to engage, inspire and empower girls to make positive changes for themselves and their communities.We hope you like this just as much as we do, so if you want to see what we're up to, keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
