Rafting Training in Hungary
Erasmus+ Sport Mobilit | Raft With Us
The Raft With US project, implemented from August 10, 2025 to August 15, 2025 on the Rába River in Hungary, successfully fulfilled its set goals, although it was our first such project. The international rafting training brought together 20 participants from Slovakia, Hungary, Portugal and the Czech Republic, creating space for cross-cultural exchange, teamwork and inclusive education in a natural environment.
Day 1: Körmend – Molnaszecsőd / 15 km
Our rafting experience began with the first day, which was dedicated to getting to know the river and the basics of safe rafting. Under the supervision of experienced instructors, we learned how to properly maneuver the paddle, maintain team cohesion, and handle unexpected situations on the water. After the theoretical part, we immediately set off on our first ride, where we could test our new knowledge in practice – full of adrenaline and emotions.
Day 2: Szentgotthard – Rábagyarmat / 19 km
The next day we embarked on a longer and more technically demanding course, where we tested our new skills. Teamwork improved even more, our technique became more precise and we gained more confidence when moving on the water. Each challenge brought a new adventure and the joy of success.
Day 3: Rábagyarmat – Csákánydoroszló / 15 km
The next day we set about perfecting our rafting skills. We navigated more challenging sections of the river, learning to react to strong currents and obstacles that required attention and quick decision-making. In between the more challenging sections, we also enjoyed fun water games that tested our cooperation and team spirit. When we stopped and looked back at the end of the day, we felt proud – each of us had taken a step forward, and the new experiences brought us a lot of joy and self-confidence.
Day 4: Csákánydoroszló – Körmend / 15 km
Day four proved to be a true test of our teamwork. We embarked on a longer rafting trip through varied terrain and encountered a few unexpected situations. Whether we navigated challenging sections or tackled smaller challenges together as a team, the day was full of shared experiences and created many unforgettable memories.
Day 5: Molnaszecsőd – Rábahídvég / 10 km
At the end of our project, we took a farewell river cruise, during which we shared experiences and fully realized everything we had learned during the week. The end of the program brought together sharing experiences, laughter and a nice surprise, which further enhanced the value and significance of the project and created an unforgettable end to our shared adventure.
The Raft With US project successfully supported community engagement, inclusion of individuals with limited opportunities, and strengthened cooperation between sports organizations from different countries. The lessons learned and partnerships created provided a solid foundation for further initiatives, sharing resources, and developing inclusive outdoor activities in local and international communities. In conclusion, the project achieved its goals and significantly contributed to inclusion, cooperation, and community building.
"Raft With Us" is a Cooperation Partnership project in the field of Sport, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
