Sunday December 6 – 16:00 Euskalduna Bilbao
Founded by Riccarda de Eccher and Elena Goatelli, Laboratorio Donne is an open forum for discussion on gender equality in the mountain world.
For decades, the male body has been the standard reference in sport. What changes when we take female physiology into account?
Building on recent achievements by women in endurance sports, this event will explore the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause, and their effects on training. It will also examine experiences of motherhood in climbing and mountaineering, the challenges of balancing childcare with mountain activities, and the social and economic conditions, including sponsorship, that enable women to continue pursuing these activities.
Participants:
Riccarda de Eccher, mountaineer and artist
Elena Goatelli, filmmaker
Anna Carceller Mallada, sports medicine physician and researcher
Esther Morencos, researcher and sports coach
María Francisca Mas Riera, feminist researcher and writer
