First event

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day might be over, but in Orihuela, celebrations are still ongoing. Local mayor Carolina Gracia recently announced the first ever ‘Women and Sports Conference’, which is set to take place on Thursday, March 23 at the CAM auditorium.

Joined by the mouncillor for Equality, María del Carmen Moreno, and the mouncillor for Sports, Luis Quesada, Gracia proudly announced that the event is “groundbreaking for Orihuela and the Vega Baja region” and shared her hopes that it is “the first of many editions to come.”

The conference will cover a variety of fascinating topics including the benefits of sports in our lives, action needed to provide women with more opportunities to get involved with sports, and how to promote equality in the sports field.

The event is completely free of charge, but registration is advised.
