Scottish Women's Paddle Symposium

Mar 31, 2021

May 20th – 22nd 2022

We are delighted to announce the date for the next Scottish Women’s Paddle Symposium.


The event will start on the evening of Friday 20th May 2022 and run through with sessions over the weekend and a social event on the Saturday night.



The event will return to the beautiful Findhorn Village as the base, where there is a wide range of local accommodation options and access to great paddling venues.

 

Not only is this event for the participants. It is an event run BY women - FOR women. Part of its aim is to empower women to take on leadership roles, both in event organisation and running the sessions and supporting female coaches and leaders to progress with their qualifications through opportunities to gain relevant experience, and to work alongside other coaches/leaders.

 

There will be skill development opportunities in a range of disciplines, and opportunities to try new disciplines. We are currently working up the programme and would love to know what sessions you would be interested in attending. Join in the discussion via https://www.facebook.com/events/1228232904276207/, keep up-to-date with event notifications and let us know if you are interested or plan on coming.
