The Barcelona Institute of Sports (IBE) has launched the cycle “Women with Impact”, a series of interviews focusing on women’s empowerment in sport.
The goal is to inspire future generations and promote the struggle for gender equality in this sphere.
The cycle of interviews “Women with Impact” has been conceived to give a voice to different women who will be sharing their experiences and their perspectives on how the struggle for equality has progressed and what aspects still need to be improved.
The paralympic medallist Astrid Fina will be tasked with getting this series of digital sessions under way. Fina is the first Spanish sportswoman to get a winter paralympic medal in snowboarding and her story is one of personal self-improvement thanks to this sports discipline.
“Women with Impact” features other women role-models sport, such as the Olympic swimming medallist Jessica Vall, who will also be sharing her experiences in an interview which will be available on the BCN Esports YouTube channel.
Through these monthly discussions and debates, the idea behind the cycle is to inspire new generations to pursue their sports dreams and promote reflection on the need for a world of sport where equality is a reality.
