ROWACT is all about rowing and wellbeing—training together, staying active, and building stronger social connections through sport. And like any good boat, it works best when everyone pulls in the same direction. RowAct

We started with two focused kick-off sessions

To set the project up properly, our Communication Team and Technical Team met in separate working sessions. Why? Because each group needed the space to define its own “game plan” first—then sync everything together: what we do, how we measure it, and how we tell the story so more people can join the journey.


The Communication Team: turning activities into momentum

This crew makes sure the project is visible, understandable, and easy to follow—transforming training sessions, events, and results into posts, articles, updates, and calls-to-action.

  • Paola Ancordi – Recreational rower & Communication team
  • Andrea Bertolissi – Recreational rower & Communication team

The Technical Team: quality, safety, and real impact

This is where the training content takes shape: coaching know-how, health expertise, research competence, and data work—so what we propose is not only inspiring, but also solid, safe, and effective.
