We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our activity in Vienna, addressing the challenge of low participation of young women in sports activities in Austria. Despite national strategies focusing on youth health and well-being, statistics have shown a significant gender disparity in sports participation. Our project aims to bridge this gap by increasing female participation in sports teams to 50%, in line with Austria’s youth and sports strategy.
Collaborating with six youth organizations across Europe, we have identified and tackled social and youth-based barriers to women’s sports participation. Our efforts focused on making sports more accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive for women, emphasizing coaching, mentorship, and creating supportive environments.
Through these collaborative efforts, we have promoted mutual solutions to boost female participation in sports, contributing to gender equality and fostering EU values and cooperation among young people. Let’s continue to work together for a more inclusive and equitable future in sports!
