EUROPEAN WOMEN IN SPORT
For an adaptive governance of women’s sports practices
INNOVATIVE TOOLS
The consortium develops specialized tools for sports club governance actors.
These tools aim to enhance awareness of women’s presence in sports and understanding of the project’s focus areas.
Self-paced individual or group tests, that help to measure level of knowledge of different topics in each axis
The purpose of the articles is to increase understanding and offer good practices for different themes
They offer examples of different standalone vs. integrated clubs and the benefits of each from a financial perspective
The purpose of the video is to provide information about labour rights
TOOLKIT GUIDE

Tools for
each axis
E-WinS articulates the poles of political, economic, individual, organizational and communicational governance. These poles of governance overlap, and the political and individual poles are transversal to the whole, which makes it possible to articulate the E-WinS project around 3 axes.
Each axis of the project have dedicated tools, alongside transversal ones. They are featured in the project’s best practices database and come in various formats, tailored to the specific practices they support.
Economic models and daily organisation
TOOLS ON FINANCING, EQUAL PAY, SPONSORSHIP, PAY, CAREER AND LABOUR RIGHTS
This axis is a fairly global aspect of governance, which refers to the organisation of financing, infrastructure and partnerships deployed around women’s practices. The creation of innovative tools considered the findings of the report, where attention was drawn to gender inequalities in sport in terms of salaries, sponsorship agreements, and lack of knowledge of legislation (including labour law).
Independent and group tests about:
– Financing
– Equal pay
– Pay, sponsorship and career
– Article about funding
– Article about labour rights
– Slideshow about funding in snadalobe clubs
– Article on strategic planning to increase sponsorship
– Video about labour rights
Development of women's sports performancE
TOOLS ON Menstrual cycle, pregnancy, pospartum, motherhood and childcare
In this axis, the focus is on development and performance in women’s practices, including both grassroots sport and high-performance sport. The emphasis in this axis was on how variations in hormones that occur across the menstrual cycle and with hormonal contraceptive use affect performance, training and health. In this axis, we also examined how performance could be combined with the reconciliation of family life and sport and how to live fully from the activity.
