<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Lina Czerny comes from the Essen area of Germany. She was concerned about the lack of opportunities for girls to learn how to skate in her hometown. Essen has no indoor skateparks and therefore limited possibilities to plan and organize structured activities and classes. In her words, Essen is located in the middle of a big melting pot, where girls form surrounding cities could come to be part of her project.&nbsp; In this way, Lina worked on a Girls Skate Week in Essen and the surrounding area.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
