What's happening with Awesome Moscow?!

The great thing about Awesome Newcastle is that it’s a part of something bigger! The Awesome Foundation is building awesome ideas across the globe! With the help of Google Translate, we are able to have a squiz at what is happening with our friends in Awesome Moscow!

The goal of our project is to install and equip the “Skalodrom” modular simulator in order to create conditions for the development of sports, tourism, promoting a healthy lifestyle, as well as the “Young Rescuer” team in the Krasnorechensky. Here, the guys studied knitting knots, providing first aid, air rifle shooting skills, conquering peaks along steep ladders and ropes. But the most interesting thing is when they conquer the height of the wall with the help of hooks. Rock climbing affects all muscle groups. The simultaneous work of the arms, legs and body harmoniously develops the whole body. At the same time, agility, endurance and coordination of movements develop. Parents react very positively to this type of general physical training for children. The people behind the project plan to open of a full-fledged climbing module, as a kind of family leisure. Men leave the streets, leaving aside bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol). Rock climbing is a unique project for a village where just over 3,000 people live. The implementation of this project will help to attract residents of the nearest settlements to the village. In Dalnegorsk urban district there are more than 10 caves, so the guys will be able to put theory into practice. Also, climbing will help young men prepare for military service, because this is a very good general physical training for endurance and coordination of movements.
