Erika Morri

During the exchange of the FRIDAS project, Erika Morri actively collaborated on a series of workshops alongside the two teams, Primavera Rugby and Nada Ragbi Klub.

The offline workshop session, led by Erika Morri on the 28th of October in the Primavera Rugby Pitch, was dedicated to fostering teamwork and understanding gender roles in both life and rugby. Erika, embodying her role as the gender coordinator, engaged participants through a series of dynamic activities designed to provoke thought and encourage collaboration.

The several activities Erika developed were: Pass the Ball, Shoe Size Line-Up, Preference Grouping.
One of the main activity was“Run and Throw Like a Girl”: in this poignant activity, participants were asked to run and throw a rugby ball “like a girl.” The predominantly male group reacted in diverse ways. Some openly expressed their disappointment, emphasizing that there should be no distinction in how boys and girls run or throw.

After physical activities, participants reflected on deeper life concepts by answering three questions:

• What does a good “kick” mean in real life?
• What does a bad “kick” mean in real life?
• What does a “lineout” symbolize for you?

In th end participants were divided into small groups, and music was played, specifically “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake. Each group had to clap and move in rhythm, responding to Erika’s calls. This activity not only emphasized the importance of working together harmoniously but also highlighted the joy of collaboration through movement.
