    En France, le sport, et le sport de haut niveau en particulier, reste encore marqué par les inégalités entre les hommes et les femmes. De nombreux défis sont à relever : augmenter la représentativité (licenciées, femmes entraîneurs, présence dans les bureaux des fédérations…), prendre en compte les besoins spécifiques des sportives (maternité, menstruations…), réduire les écarts de salaires etc... Dans le cadre du programme Agence Erasmus+ France Jeunesse & Sport « « 𝐄𝐱 𝐀𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐨 » », cofinancé par L'Union Européenne (UE), l'#INSEP et ses partenaires institutionnels Sport Ireland Institute et Australian Institute Of Sport engagent une réflexion commune pour promouvoir l'égalité des genres dans le sport et accompagner la performance des athlètes féminines. Ainsi, une première session de formation pour 10 représentants de l'INSEP a été programmée à Dublin dans les locaux de la principale organisation de performance sportive du pays. Cette rencontre entre l’INSEP et la fantastique équipe de Liam Harbison, le directeur du centre irlandais, a été la première étape de ce projet de mobilité pour les agents de l'INSEP dans un objectif de formation professionnelle et d'acquisition de nouvelles connaissances et compétences basées sur des modèles étrangers. Les principaux enjeux étaient d'acquérir des outils de sensibilisation et de prévention sur les questions liées à l'égalité des sexes afin de sensibiliser un grand nombre d'apprenants. Différents sujets ont été abordés tels que les politiques de haute performance à destination des femmes dans le sport (santé physique et mentale, bien-être, aides à la maternité), la diversité et l'inclusion, les communautés professionnelles, les différents programmes d'incitation à la pratique sportives, kit de communication ... Un sujet inépuisable ! Et cela tombe bien, la prochaine conférence internationale de l'INSEP sur « Les femmes dans la performance » (18-20 novembre) s’intègre pleinement dans le programme Ex-Aequo et devrait représenter l'occasion idéale de diffuser à un public encore plus large les leçons apprises et les meilleures pratiques en termes de parité et de soutien aux athlètes féminines. Une deuxième session de formation sera organisée pour les collaborateurs de l'INSEP en février avec l'Australian Institute of Sport dans son centre italien de Varèse. #parité #womeninsportire #sport #international

    ⚽️ FAI’s "Play It Right"! After consulting with key stakeholders, the FAI is expanding its Play It Right campaign to better support Safeguarding Officers, Children's Officers, and Designated Liaison Persons at grassroots clubs. This initiative will streamline reporting concerns, aligning with each club's Child Safeguarding Statement and covering areas that fall outside current guidelines. The campaign will continue with a second phase rolling out in late 2024, reinforcing FAI’s commitment to a safe and supportive environment for everyone in Irish football.
