EROC 2019

Arriva la nona edizione di EROC, l’annuale meeting europeo sul roller derby, organizzato da Bear City Roller Derby, a Berlino.

L’EROC non è un torneo ma un momenti di incontro, con conferenze (le “sessions”), che prevedono anche domande e risposte alla fine) e workshop di gruppo su temi specifici. Quest’anno, in particolare, il focus sarà sull’inclusività, ma in realtà verranno coperti un po’ tutti gli aspetti.

Oltre a questo, una ref clinic, una sessione per principianti sulle rampe e uno scrimmage misto aperto a tutti.

Tutti i dettagli qui sotto (alcuni sono ancora da definire)

EROC 2019 – the European Roller Derby Organizational Conference – has gathered 150 participants from 80 leagues together every year since 2009.

Bear City Roller Derby is pleased to announce the 2019 edition of The European Roller Derby Organizational Conference (EROC)!

Where: Berlin
When: January 31st (Thursday) until February 3rd (Sunday) 2019
What: Workshops on Thursday 31st & Friday 1st — Sessions on Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd

MORE IS MORE!
This year’s EROC is one day longer! That means more time, more sessions, more workshops, more sharing, meeting, networking and brainstorming, and more skating!

HIGHLIGHTED FOCUS: INCLUSIVITY.
We will approach a broad range of topics — covering every aspect of our community as usual — with special attention paid to how to make every single one of them inclusive.

Workshops and sessions will also be longer, so we will have more time to exchange ideas. We will also be including a Q&A at the end of every session to get the most out of each one.

EROC 2019 is 8 workshops and 20 sessions on…

-Inclusive practices and accessibility
-Whipping your finances into inclusive shape
-Inclusive officiating behaviour and mindset
-Low level harassment, aggression, consent, bystanders behaviour
-Officiating crew selection process. Sexism and discrimination
