The Bragança Football Association was represented in Belgrade, Serbia, on the 9th of December 2023 in the opening of a new Erasmus+ Sport Project.
This was the first physical meeting of the project team and was the Kick-Off of the project “Re-imagining the playing field – a gender equality in sport project” (GESP).
The “Re-imagining the playing field – a gender equality in sport project” (GESP) aim is to promote gender equality in sport by addressing imbalances in gender representation and raising awareness about gender inequalities in sport and to support organizations in integrating a gender equality approach into their operations and ensuring that relevant policies are applied across the organization.
Some of the goals of the project are understanding and addressing the barriers to gender equality in sport by collecting insights from female athletes, coaches, referees, and other female experts in the field of sport through interviews and also recording the results as a podcast and develop and implement initiatives to promote gender equality in sport, by organizing workshops for athletes, coaches, referees, and other sport-related professionals on the topics such as equal opportunities and representation, gender-sensitive language and behaviors, and the importance of promoting gender equality in sport.
