The WES project has made remarkable progress in its local implementation, marking a significant shift towards inclusivity and empowerment. The piloting of the Women’s Empowerment through Sport manual has produced tangible results, sparking positive change and fostering a sense of belonging. Women from diverse backgrounds have been empowered to actively engage and excel in sports, breaking down societal barriers and challenging stereotypes. 

Through comprehensive coaching, participants have not only improved their physical skills but also developed newfound confidence and leadership skills. This initiative highlights the transformative potential of sport in promoting gender equality and fostering a more inclusive society. 

The local implementation, which took place from January to March 2024, included vibrant activities in Spain, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy, amplifying the impact of the project on a multilateral scale.

The manual represents a significant milestone as it has been curated from a multidisciplinary perspective including psychology, sports science, inclusion and legal frameworks. Designed to improve the lives of women and societies at large, the manual serves as a comprehensive tool accessible to all citizens. Its availability in all project languages on the project website ensures widespread access and facilitates the implementation of the project’s outcomes.

The manual is available on the project website in 5 languages (English, Italian, Greek, Bulgarian and Spanish) and is ready to be used by all!
