Expected outcomes
SCORE Project specifically aims to develop an educational toolkit “awareness pack” aiming at increasing the number of female coaches and breaking the barriers for female coaching by innovative solutions. The toolkit will include tools both to sport organisations and coaches. In addition, the project develops an education programme for mentors, which will be organised for the representatives from project partner organisations. After the programme, the mentors will assist potential female coaches in their respective countries in developing the mentees' professional and personal growth.
The project aims to develop:
- an educational toolkit “awareness pack” with tools targeted at both the sports organisations and coaches.
- an education programme for mentors and around 24 educated mentors to support potential female coaches around Europe.
