Why has sport historically been dominated by men, and how can we challenge this imbalance? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in May, a new training programme for coaches and athletes aims to break down gender stereotypes and tackle discrimination in sports environments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the sports sector is gradually becoming more diverse, with increasing visibility of women and LGBTQIA+ individuals in both grassroots and competitive contexts, many sports structures are still not fully equipped to embrace these changes. Barriers linked to gender norms, stereotypes, and discrimination continue to limit equal participation and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SISTERS<\/a> project<\/strong> responds to this challenge through a comprehensive training programme: <\/strong>a multi-modular learning experience designed for sports managers, coaches, and athletes. The training combines theoretical insights with practical tools, interactive activities, and real-life scenarios to foster inclusive and equitable sports environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will explore key topics such as gender, intersectionality, stereotypes, and inclusive communication<\/strong>, while developing concrete skills to recognise and address discrimination in their daily practice. The training is based on the Sports Bag<\/strong><\/a>, a toolkit of resources and activities that supports organisations in promoting inclusive governance in sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect from the training? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The programme is designed as a blended learning experience, combining in-person interaction with complementary online components. It includes 2 face-to-face sessions, each lasting approximately 3 hours, where participants engage in interactive activities, group discussions, and scenario-based exercises grounded in real-life sport contexts. The training is delivered in small groups to maximise participation and exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
