About
Get In The Game (GITG) aims to raise awareness about young girls' sports opportunities and train teachers and coaches to provide more inclusive, egalitarian, and engaging sports activities. The project is an international cooperation effort including NGOs, Sport organizations, Schools and Federations established in national realities characterized by a peculiar yet interrelated condition in youth well-being and sports.
GITG promotes access to team sports activities directly through the school, which is the easiest and most direct way to provide different proposals to involve young girls who seldomly show interest in sports for several reasons like feeling uncomfortable, inadequate or frightened
of social confrontation.
Objectives
-
Perform research on good practices of promotion of equal opportunities in Sport for youngsters. The study will be focused on the best practices for the inclusion in sports of young girls through online/offline social campaigning.
