Transforming Sports: Gender Insights Workshop: Identifying and Addressing Gender Inequality in Sporting Environments

Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science

Join sports and exercise scientists from the University of Leeds at Headingly Stadium to explore gender dynamics within the sporting environment.  Participants will explore how gender bias can deter women and girls from sports participation and increase injury risk.  We begin by developing a personal playbook and a user persona to explore the gendered environment.  Following is a 30 minute interactive workshop and a 30 minute activity and linked discussion.

To close we draw together key messages and action points that participants can apply to their own clubs, organisations and events to foster a more inclusive and equitable sporting environment.
