In Vidin, more than 50 participants took part in the second training workshop on conducting water adventure games for families

In the meeting room of the Hotel “Rovno” in Vidin, more than 50 participants took part in the second seminar of the “Water adventure games for families” project. The aim of the workshop was to build teams of rescuers and volunteers for the organization and normal and safe conduct of adventure water games for families. It was attended by five representatives from each of the organizations executing the project – “Consult Group”, Bulgaria, Association “Calafat – Duven”, Romania, from the association “Vega Youth Center” from Serbia and an expert from the water and rowing club sports “Bononia”. More than 30 representatives of families, future participants in the games from Vidin, savers and volunteers, members of sports and tourist clubs joined the seminar hall. Their interest was provoked by the advance information about the event. At the seminar for coaches and judges in Vidin, the hosts presented the organization of the competition in the month of August, related to family sports and the help they need from partners for its smooth running. In short presentation the project “Water adventure games for families”, the partners involved in the project and the agreed disciplines of the first seminar in Belgrade were presented to the participants. The disciplines for participation in the competitions in Belgrade and the possibility to include more participants in them, as well as the evaluation and ranking system, aroused interest. Because of this interest, the project leader presented the developed ranking system to them/metrics/ by which the winners of each adventure game will be determined, both individually and as team scores. It was specified that the competitions in Vidin will be held on the city beach next to the fortress “Baba Vida” in the Danube river, adjacent to the base where the boats are stored. All participants will participate in the opening of the competition and the division in the individual disciplines, according to a predetermined draw, at a technical conference. There are three disciplines presented by the Bulgarian team: 1. Competition between the family game teams, 2. SUP board competitions – team and individual and 3. Dragon boat competitions, team – mixed and individual without ranking. It was clarified that there is a slight possibility of holding the games on Lake Rabisha, which is located about 50 kilometers from Vidin, if the waters of the Danube River are high at that time and there will be no possibility to hold the competitions. All disciplines were approved unanimously of the participants in the seminar, and the other representatives of the partner organizations announced that they will present their disciplines at the next seminars foreseen in the project. An expert from the “Bononia” sports club on water and rowing sports also presented the rankings for the individual disciplines.
