ABOUT
WHY FRIDAS?
FRIDAS, which stands for Freedom in Rights Identities driven through Arts and Sports, aims to combine healthy sport competition and contemporary art to achieve several goals: breaking down gender bias, promoting physical and mental health, challenging discrimination in sports, combating social exclusion, and educating coaches and decision-makers in sports organizations on Gender Equality issues.
Inspired by Frida Kahlo, symbolizing resilience in the face of adversity, this project sees art and sport as essential allies in strengthening individuals, fostering independence, and shattering prejudices. By intervening in the rugby sector, typically perceived as masculine and rugged, we aim to encourage introspection and self-discovery.
Moreover, rugby, renowned for fostering loyalty and trust among players, serves as a powerful tool in combating discrimination and gender disparities. By integrating art into the equation, we aim to transform rough contact into moments of enlightenment and mutual understanding, challenging biases and embracing diversity.
PROJECT
FRIDAS, conceived by Latitudo Art Projects and funded by Erasmus + call, small-scale partnerships in the field of Sport, involves two primary partners:
* The U.S. Primavera Rugby (Italy-Rome)
* The Ragbi Klub Nada (Croatia-Split).
These will be joined by several other partners of national importance which gave the patronage to the project (ABA Roma, CONI, FIR).
The FRIDAS project bridges art and sports to promote inclusion, tackle gender bias, combat discrimination, and address social exclusion, particularly in sports with a history of male dominance like rugby. Through creative and educational activities, the project seeks to engage adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds, fostering their inclusion in sports.
The project aims to promote Geneder Equality and Inclusion in sport through a collective reflection.
methodology
The project’s innovation lies in its multidisciplinary approach, utilizing contemporary art to promote physical and mental well-being, challenge discrimination, and provide a holistic education. FRIDAS emphasizes the transformative power of athletic participation as a form of resistance, challenging stereotypes and promoting inclusivity.
target audiencies
FRIDAS targets young people aged 12 to 16, including members of participating rugby clubs and adolescents from marginalized backgrounds, such as Ukrainian refugees in foster care.
