HER SPORT – Bridge the Gap: Equal Opportunities for Girls in Sport

HER SPORT – Bridge the Gap: Equal Opportunities for Girls in Sport

HER SPORT focuses on improving access to sport for girls aged 13–17 living in rural or remote areas who face financial or social barriers. The project promotes sport as a tool for inclusion, wellbeing, and community participation, ensuring that girls feel supported, confident, and engaged.

To achieve this, the project raises awareness about the importance of girls’ participation in sport, trains 32 sport coaches and club directors on inclusive and motivational methodologies, and supports 200 girls in joining safe and accessible sport activities. Families receive guidance through a dedicated toolkit, and transportation is provided for girls who cannot reach sports facilities on their own.

HER SPORT also implements community engagement events in the four partner countries (Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia) and creates a digital “Story-Experience” video to showcase the project journey and inspire others. Ultimately, the project strengthens inclusion, gender equality in sports, and community cohesion.
