About GEIN
The project “Female Sport Leaders Promoting Gender Independent Physical Activity” (GEIN), funded by the Erasmus program, is designed to empower sport actors in Albania and Kosovo. It focuses on promoting gender equality and leadership skills through a structured learning program and mentorship. This initiative directly addresses the underrepresentation of women in sports leadership roles, predominantly dominated by men, by fostering awareness and skill development across all genders.
The key components of the GEIN project include: Development and piloting of a learning course tailored for female sport leaders and coaches. Organization of workshops and mentoring at both national and international levels, including para-sports. Creation of a network of mentors to support ongoing gender equality efforts in the sports sector. This project aims not only to empower individuals but also to instill broader societal change towards gender equality in sports, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality. The expected outcomes are increased gender awareness, enhanced leadership capacities among women, and a strengthened network of advocates and leaders in sports within the region.
EU Support Acknowledgment: Acknowledge the support from the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) and the ERASMUS+ program, including the European flag and a statement on EU funding.
