Gender and Sexual Identity in Girls’ Sports​

International exchange of practitioners 

13-15h (UTC + 1), Zoom

Background

Thank you for attending our webinar Gender and Sexual Identity in Girls’ Sports held 28th of January!

You can download the pdf slides of the event here. A recording of the event is available here. 

Our first webinar Trans and Queer Themes in Girls and Youth Sports Clubs hosted by Girls in the Lead 10 December 2020 gathered many inspiring practitioners working to build more inclusive sports communities. The webinar included 36 sport for development practitioners (18 from Europe, 11 from India, 4 from Africa, one from MENA, 3 from North America) – and discovered a need for deeper discussion and collaboration. 

The aim of our second webinar is to discuss key themes that emerged in the first webinar in more detail, and provide a space for an international exchange and learning for practitioners in sport for development. 

The following topics will be discussed in the webinar: 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact info@girlsinthelead.org.

We are looking forward to seeing you 28 January!
