Putting athlete rights and responsibilities into action – come and join the conversation

World Rowing is continuing its series of webinars to promote safeguarding efforts.

The first of two webinars took place last Monday. Entitled “Athlete Rights and Responsibilities with respect to Safeguarding: what you need to know”, it had active participation from attendees, coming from over 30 different nations. With guest speaker Yetsa Tuakli-Wosornu, a sports equity researcher, the discussions included how to empower athletes to be aware of their rights and their responsibilities in helping to create a safe sport environment, with the aim of giving athletes the confidence to act and contribute to making sport a safer place.

The second of these webinars on safeguarding, held by World Rowing and the World Rowing Athletes Commission, is being held Monday, 14 March, at 13:30 CET. The focus of this second webinar will be “Putting athletes’ rights and responsibilities into action – a toolkit for athletes”.

The guest speaker for this session will be Johan Flodin, former head coach of the Norwegian rowing team. He will share his approach to inspiring a safer sport environment, and be joined by Olaf Tufte, winner of the Thomas Keller medal 2021, Lenka Dienstbach-Wech, former Chair of the World Rowing Athletes Commission and many others. Frida Svensson, current Chair of the Athletes Commission will moderate the webinar.
