WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
After a brief look at the current world of sport, including key facts and documented barriers
preventing girls from taking part in sports programs, you will focus on three main areas:
First, we will explore the world of access and recruitment, understand the factors that contribute to girls being able to access the pitch, and strategies to recruit new participants.
Second, we will continue the journey through the concept of inclusion: how do we make sure that every girl is included, feels valued, and has the opportunity to play?
Lastly, we will reflect critically about the sporting environment, re-thinking and learning how to re-design sports spaces to make them more gender-inclusive.
PROJECT PARTNERS
To address the cultural stigmas and systemic inequalities that women and girls face in sport every day, we partnered with gender equity experts Common Goal, Soccer Without Borders, and Women Win to develop the Breaking Barriers Academy.
