Wie kam es dazu?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Nanja: Vor drei Jahren haben wir \u201c<strong>Frauen skaten um die Welt<\/strong>\u201dDamals haben wir damit begonnen, um mehr M\u00e4dchen zum Skateboarden zu bringen. Inzwischen hat es sich zu einer professionellen Wohlt\u00e4tigkeitsorganisation entwickelt. Dahinter steckt eine lange Geschichte. Kurz bevor ich die Organisation gr\u00fcndete, habe ich in Pal\u00e4stina ehrenamtlich f\u00fcr eine Skateboard-NGO gearbeitet. Dort traf ich die andere Mitbegr\u00fcnderin von \u201cWomen Skate the World\u201d, Amber. In Pal\u00e4stina wurde uns klar, dass wir als Vorbilder f\u00fcr alle M\u00e4dchen in dem Dorf, in dem wir Skateboarden unterrichteten, viel bewirken k\u00f6nnen. Da kam uns die Idee, eine globale Plattform zu schaffen, um mehr Frauen und M\u00e4dchen f\u00fcr das Skateboarden zu begeistern.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>F\u00fcr diejenigen, die es nicht wissen: Was ist \u201cWomen Skate the World\u201d?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Nanja: Wir f\u00fchren verschiedene Projekte f\u00fcr M\u00e4dchen, Frauen und queere Menschen durch, um sie zum Skateboarden zu bringen und eine sichere und vielf\u00e4ltige Community innerhalb des Skateboardings aufzubauen. Wir m\u00f6chten Menschen mit Hilfe des Skateboardens inspirieren, aufkl\u00e4ren und begeistern. Das Programm wurde erstmals in Athen in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Skateboardprogramm f\u00fcr Fl\u00fcchtlinge ins Leben gerufen. Ein Jahr sp\u00e4ter habe ich es in den Niederlanden gestartet. Seitdem ist es mit verschiedenen Partnern und unterschiedlichen Programmen ziemlich gro\u00df geworden.<br\/>\n<br\/>Wir haben erkannt, dass wir, um mehr Frauen anzusprechen, Unterrichtsinhalte erstellen m\u00fcssen, die die Menschen interessant finden. Au\u00dferdem wollten wir das Programm etwas motivierender gestalten, also haben wir eine Kombination aus Skateboarding, Bildung und Kreativit\u00e4t in einem Unterrichtsprogramm entwickelt. Wenn Sie beispielsweise eine Unterrichtseinheit zum Thema Klimawandel haben, beginnen Sie mit einer Vorf\u00fchrung von recycelten oder upgecycelten Skateboards und erstellen dann Ihr eigenes Design.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Was macht Ihrer Meinung nach ein gutes Vorbild aus?\u00a0<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Nanja: Ich glaube, jeder kann ein Vorbild sein. Ich bin wohl f\u00fcr bestimmte Menschen in unseren Programmen ein Vorbild. Es gibt Menschen, die mich als Vorbild sehen, was seltsam ist, wenn man das \u00fcber sich selbst sagt. Ich glaube, es geht darum, seinen eigenen Weg im Leben zu finden, und ich bin gl\u00fccklich, jeden Tag etwas zu tun, das mir Spa\u00df macht.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Sie inspirieren, st\u00e4rken und motivieren Menschen durch Skateboarding. Was ist das ideale Ergebnis, das Sie mit Ihren Programmen erreichen m\u00f6chten?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Nanja: Das ultimative Ziel sind zwei Dinge: 1) dass sich alle willkommen, akzeptiert und sicher f\u00fchlen. 2) Und andererseits m\u00f6chte ich, dass auch in der Gesellschaft alle Menschen ihre eigene Gemeinschaft, ihren eigenen sicheren Ort haben. Beide Punkte verst\u00e4rken sich gegenseitig, sodass wir eine n\u00e4chste Generation von M\u00e4dchen und queeren Jugendlichen gro\u00dfziehen k\u00f6nnen, die sich selbstbewusst, stark und gest\u00e4rkt f\u00fchlen, damit die Welt besser und gerechter wird.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Sind in naher Zukunft weitere Initiativen mit Women Win &amp; PUMA geplant?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Nanja: PUMA unterst\u00fctzt Women Win und Women Win arbeitet mit einem Programm namens <strong>Skateistan<\/strong>. Gemeinsam haben sie das \u201cRoll Model Program\u201d ins Leben gerufen. Im ersten Jahr war \u201cWomen Skate the World\u201d als Teilnehmer dabei. So erhielten wir Unterst\u00fctzung bei der Entwicklung unseres Programms und konnten an Leadership-Workshops teilnehmen. Jetzt, im zweiten Jahr, bin ich als Coach f\u00fcr die Teilnehmer t\u00e4tig. Ich habe anderen dabei geholfen, Programme aufzubauen und Workshops zu organisieren. Durch dieses Programm konnten wir in zwei Jahren mehr als 150 Personen in den Programmen von \u201eWomen Skate the World\u201c begr\u00fc\u00dfen.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><em>Vielen Dank f\u00fcr das Interview, Nanja!<\/em><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row articleMulti1 spacing\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"row articleMulti2 spacing\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wir wollen mehr M\u00e4dchen und queere Jugendliche durch Sport st\u00e4rken!

Back then we started it to bring more girls into skateboarding. By now it has grown to becoma a professional charity. There is a long story behind it. Right before I founded the organization, I did some volunteer work in Palestine for a skateboarding NGO. There I met the other co-founder of \u201cWomen skate the World\u201d, Amber. In Palestine we realized, we can make a big difference as role models to all the girls in the village where we taught skateboarding. That is when we came up with the idea of creating a global platform to reach more women and girls in skateboarding.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;For people who don\u2019t know, what is \u201cWomen Skate the World\u201d?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: We do different projects for girls, women, and queer people, to bring them to skateboarding and to build a community that is safe and diverse within skateboarding. We work to inspire, educate, and engage people with skateboarding as a tool. The program was first launched in Athens in cooperation with a skateboarding program that works in the refugee community. A year later, I started it in the Netherlands. Since then, it has been growing quite big, with different partners and different programs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;We realized that to attract more women we need to create lesson content that people find interesting. We also wanted to make it a bit more empowering, so we came up with a combination of skateboarding, education, and creativity in a lesson program. If you have a climate change lesson for example, you will start with a demonstration of recycled or upcycled skateboards and then you would make your own design.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;What makes a good role model in your opinion?\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: I think anyone can be a role model. I guess I am a role model to certain people in our programs. There are people who see me as an example, which is weird to say about yourself. I think it is about finding your own path in life and I\u2019m happy to do something that I like every day.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;You inspire, empower and engage people through skateboarding.

Both points strengthen each other, so we can raise a next generation of girls and queer youth that feel confident, strong, and empowered, for the world to become better and fairer.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Are there any more initiatives planned with Women Win \\u0026amp;amp; PUMA in the near future?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: PUMA supports Women Win and Women Win collaborates with a program called \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Skateistan\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Together they have founded the \u201croll model program\u201d. In the first year \u201cWomen skate the World\u201d has been involved as a participant. So, we have received support by developing our program and got leadership workshops. Now in the second year, I have been a coach to participants. So, I helped others to set up programs and with the organization of workshops. We\u2019ve been able to welcome more than 150 people in the Women Skate the World programs, through this program in two years.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;em\\u0026gt;Thank you very much for the interview, Nanja!\\u0026lt;\/em\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-multi {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"title\":\"\",\"mode\":\"manual\",\"numArticles\":1,\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":30368}],\"aspect\":\"1\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-multi {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"numArticles\":2,\"title\":\"\",\"icon\":\"icon-puma\",\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":24570},{\"id\":17021}],\"mode\":\"manual\",\"aspect\":\"1\"} \/-->","post_title":"SHE MOVES US: Interview with Nanja van Rijsse, who inspires girls to skate through project supported by Women Win","post_excerpt":"We want to empower more girls and queer youth through sport!

That is when we came up with the idea of creating a global platform to reach more women and girls in skateboarding.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;For people who don\u2019t know, what is \u201cWomen Skate the World\u201d?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: We do different projects for girls, women, and queer people, to bring them to skateboarding and to build a community that is safe and diverse within skateboarding. We work to inspire, educate, and engage people with skateboarding as a tool. The program was first launched in Athens in cooperation with a skateboarding program that works in the refugee community. A year later, I started it in the Netherlands. Since then, it has been growing quite big, with different partners and different programs.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;We realized that to attract more women we need to create lesson content that people find interesting. We also wanted to make it a bit more empowering, so we came up with a combination of skateboarding, education, and creativity in a lesson program. If you have a climate change lesson for example, you will start with a demonstration of recycled or upcycled skateboards and then you would make your own design.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;What makes a good role model in your opinion?\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: I think anyone can be a role model. I guess I am a role model to certain people in our programs. There are people who see me as an example, which is weird to say about yourself. I think it is about finding your own path in life and I\u2019m happy to do something that I like every day.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;You inspire, empower and engage people through skateboarding.

Both points strengthen each other, so we can raise a next generation of girls and queer youth that feel confident, strong, and empowered, for the world to become better and fairer.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Are there any more initiatives planned with Women Win \\u0026amp;amp; PUMA in the near future?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Nanja: PUMA supports Women Win and Women Win collaborates with a program called \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Skateistan\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Together they have founded the \u201croll model program\u201d. In the first year \u201cWomen skate the World\u201d has been involved as a participant. So, we have received support by developing our program and got leadership workshops. Now in the second year, I have been a coach to participants. So, I helped others to set up programs and with the organization of workshops. We\u2019ve been able to welcome more than 150 people in the Women Skate the World programs, through this program in two years.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;em\\u0026gt;Thank you very much for the interview, Nanja!\\u0026lt;\/em\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-multi {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"title\":\"\",\"mode\":\"manual\",\"numArticles\":1,\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":30368}],\"aspect\":\"1\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-multi {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"numArticles\":2,\"title\":\"\",\"icon\":\"icon-puma\",\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":24570},{\"id\":17021}],\"mode\":\"manual\",\"aspect\":\"1\"} \/-->","title":"SHE MOVES US: Interview mit Nanja van Rijsse, die durch ein von Women Win unterst\u00fctztes Projekt M\u00e4dchen zum Skaten inspiriert","excerpt":"Wir wollen mehr M\u00e4dchen und queere Jugendliche durch Sport st\u00e4rken! In Zusammenarbeit mit Women Win setzen wir uns f\u00fcr das Recht aller M\u00e4dchen auf Sport ein. Wusstet ihr das? Im Alter von 14 Jahren h\u00f6ren M\u00e4dchen 1,5-mal h\u00e4ufiger mit dem Sport auf als Jungen. Im Alter von 17 Jahren h\u00f6ren mehr als die H\u00e4lfte der M\u00e4dchen ganz mit dem Sport auf. Deshalb glauben wir an die Bedeutung von Vorbildern wie Nanja van Rijsse. Ein M\u00e4dchen muss aufschauen und sehen, wie andere M\u00e4dchen, junge Frauen und queere Jugendliche Stereotypen durchbrechen, F\u00fchrungsqualit\u00e4ten, Selbstvertrauen und Teamwork f\u00f6rdern, um einen st\u00e4rkeren Glauben an sich selbst zu entwickeln.
