The challenge

Women face specific barriers to physical activity, including safety and comfort in male-dominated facilities. Staff in clubs and gyms rarely have guidance on how to address this.

The digital component

Online learning for sport and fitness professionals, guidelines for stakeholders on gender equality and harassment prevention, and mixed sessions combining sport and education, piloted in clubs, fitness centres and facilities.

Sport Innovation Hub's role

Partner in the consortium.

Show technical detail
  • E-learning platform for trainers, coaches and gym staff
  • Facility self-assessment tool based on the project's safety and comfort criteria
  • Structured collection of pilot evaluation data across the four countries
  • Guidelines published as reusable digital resources

How this applies to your organisation

If your organisation is responsible for the welfare of athletes, this is the kind of work we can take on: a reporting channel, the protocol behind it, staff verification and an auditable record of what was done.
