GENDERWISE
The GENDERWISE project is an ambitious initiative with the primary goal of promoting gender equality and supporting the development of dual careers for young female athletes aged 14 to 26. The project gathers 7 partners from 6 European countries (Croatia, Finland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Portugal, and Ukraine) and clearly outlines its goals for solving key challenges in the sports sector.
Key results include:
1. Development of educational resources: The project will establish a comprehensive educational program to equip young female athletes with transferable skills through 6 educational modules. In addition, they will conduct 2 surveys to gain a better insight into their needs.
2. Innovative web platform and tools: The project will develop an advanced web platform to provide young athletes with basic knowledge and skills for future coaching or management roles in sports organizations. This includes 24 MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) modules for open learning and 24 tools for evaluating the results achieved.
3. Establishment of a virtual community and support: The project will increase the necessary skills through MOOC education for 120 young female athletes, and provide mentoring support for 44 of them by 22 experienced former female athletes.
The GENDERWISE project contributes significantly to the achievement of the goals and guidelines of the EU in the sports sector. In particular, it is aligned with the European Commission's 2022 "Recommendations and Action Plan: Towards Greater Gender Equality in Sport" document, which prioritizes the promotion of gender equality in sport. In addition, the project is aligned with the "EU WORK PLAN FOR SPORT (2021-2024)" confirming its commitment to the priorities of the European Union's sports sector through clearly defined goals and tangible measures. The project emphasizes the development of young female athletes and plays a key role in fostering a more inclusive and fair sporting environment for all.
