Erasmus+ opportunity for Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat Paddlers

OPEN CALL, Raging Mouflons Pinks Team (Erasmus+ Project)

We are excited to announce the creation of a Regular Raging Mouflons Pinks Team, our dedicated dragon boat team made up of paddlers who have gone through breast cancer and wish to paddle, grow, and lead together.

This team will be part of an Erasmus+ European project on rehabilitation, prevention, and empowerment through Pink Dragon Boating, in collaboration with partner clubs from Serbia, Croatia and Romania.

To make this project run from Cyprus, we are looking for women who are ready to commit not only to weekly trainings, but also to organising and administrating the project from within the Pinks team.

What we’re creating

• A stable, weekly training group of breast cancer survivors (water & land sessions).

• A team that will travel and represent Cyprus at:

  • The Danube Pink Dragon Challenge (Serbia) and

  • An international Pink Dragon Camp (October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month).

• A core group of women who will run the project themselves, with the support of the Raging Mouflons Executive Committee.

Roles within the Pinks Erasmus Team

Members of the Pinks team will take on the key roles needed to run the project from Cyprus and report back both to the Executive Committee and to Erasmus+.

We are inviting expressions of interest for the following roles.

 

Opportunity for fully covered travel expenses (funded by Erasmus+) will be given to the people undertaking the predefined roles, as marked below.

Any remaining Erasmus+ funds will then be allocated to cover, in whole or in part, the travel expenses of the remaining participating Pink paddlers.
