The project involved Evoluzione E Benessere, VŠį Sportuokime Kartu, Club De Gimnastica La Mina Gervasio Deferr, and Club Atlético De Queluz, uniting their efforts to achieve specific objectives. The overarching aim was to promote the educational role of sports associations in the realm of gender equality.

Provide an innovative method to counteract gender stereotypes: The creation of the "TO GATHER TOGETHER METHOD," encompassing sessions on gender equality education, planning interventions, and becoming ambassadors of gender equality in sports.
Significant Activities and Achievements:

Sessions 3 and 4: Interventions, best practices, and training exercises, accompanied by video tutorials.
European Impact:
The project's focus on combating gender stereotypes aligns with the EU's commitment to gender equality. The persistence of stereotypes and sexism hinders genuine equality, and the project strives to address these issues at their roots. Gender equality is a fundamental EU value, contributing to a more innovative, competitive, and prosperous European economy.
Innovative Aspects:
The innovation lies in the development of a new method and approaches to promote gender equality in sports. The project produced the "TO GATHER TOGETHER METHOD," a comprehensive guide that empowers coaches and volunteers to become ambassadors of equal opportunities in sports. The materials generated during the project, including the website, social media campaign, and educational content, enable broader dissemination and replication of initiatives promoting gender equality.
As the project concludes, its impact extends beyond the participating associations, encouraging a broader cultural shift towards inclusivity and equal opportunities in sports throughout Europe. The TGT project stands as a beacon, inspiring positive change and fostering a future where gender equality is celebrated on and off the field.
