Dragon boat racing originated in China more than 2000 years ago and has become a popular recreational and competitive support around the world. From the advent of the world's first breast cancer survivor dragon boat team, Abreast in a Boat launched in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1996, there are now more than 140 breast cancer survivor dragon boat teams paddling and competing in 12 different countries. The wealth of quantitative and qualitative research that has ensued since that pilot study further supports the initial hypothesis that resistance exercise, for example, dragon boat paddling, is not only safe for women recovering from conventional breast cancer therapies but also shows that dragon boating has been embraced as a complementary exercise therapy by the cancer survivors participating in this magical sport. By joining our very first Croatian Dragon boat team you will learn that it requires lot of strength and discipline to be able to match these amazing ladies; join the workshop, learn something new and have much fun !

Organizer: Mountaineering Association Paklenica’s sport climbing section

Sport climbing is a sport where the climber's own physical strength and skill are relied on to accomplish the climb. All technical means are used exclusively for protection against injury in case of a fall. It is well known that climbing has a number of positive effects: physical development and the development of motor skills (endurance, flexibility, coordination, balance); improves focus, improves confidence, favors addressing own fear of heights.

You could say that this sport has been entering its "mature" phase inrecent years – there has been an incredible increase of interest in sport, artificial rock halls are "emanating" everywhere, the number of professional sports climbers is growing, interest from sponsors and investors is growing rapidly, and, as a crown to everything, a decision has recently been made to enter the Olympic sports community at the next two Olympic Games inTokyo 2021 and Paris 2024.

During the one-day workshop we will introduce you to: history of sport climbing; relevant equipment and its proper use; climbing techniques - the use of hands and foots in moving upwards using different hand holds and foot holds; types of ascent; sports competitions; grading and descriptions of climbing routes and many other things. In the second part of the workshop, each participant will try to overcome several routes on the vertical medieval walls using only their hands and feet in a completely safe and controlled environment (so-called "top rope" climbing), belayed by competent instructors.
