โ–ถSummary

The project โ€œWomen, We Walk!โ€ aims to involve young women, especially mothers, who drop out from sport activity and are not engaged in physical activities by empowering local sports communities' competencies to become key actors in promoting inclusion, dialogue, and integration of inactive women within different communities. These goals are reached through advanced training and sports tools and the transfer of good practice from the leading associations of the participating member states (Luxembourg, Italy, Bulgaria) to members from and third countries (Serbia and Moldova) to promote this practice. The partnership involves youth and sports organizations at the grassroots level โ€“ leading the realization of concrete activities - with research bodies able to ensure quality research, ensuring a mix of competencies allowing partners to count on a solid basis. The project si structured in a series of steps: -Hurry up! Organizing research on the level of adult women inactivity to understand both issues of cultural and gender equality in different areas by collecting literature review and interviews and questionnaires; -Empower! Co-creating a series of Walking Football Training (WFT), which will reinforce adult women's mental and physical skills and share a standard method for communities coming from different communities in BIH; -Implement! Organizing Walking Football Bootcamps (WFB) in informal areas such as public spaces, gardens, and city neighborhoods to encourage women to practice sports, give visibility to their physical activity as a model to pursue and promote walking football practice; -Sharing! Reaching an extensive network of sports organizations and providing them with a platform (online with the contribution of the "Walking Football discussion forum", the delivery of the "Sports for healthy lifestyle and inclusion magazine", and offline with the promotion of the WFB) to communicate their ideas and projects and feel responsible for their involvment that is published through this page expresses the views of the project beneficiaries only and it does not represent the views of the European Union or the European Commission.
