SALSC - “Let’s Make It Happen” - 2006 Ruth Crone Project Manager 0131 339 8785
Physical Activity Aim Increase physical activity levels of girls and young women by addressing common barriers – including low self-esteem – which prevent them from participating
Leadership Aim… …Develop participants to become physical activity leaders in their own communities by providing skills training, personal development opportunities and follow-up support
Let’s get together to explore ideas? Ruth Crone Project Manager 0131 339 8785
Activity In small groups, think about some of the barriers to girls participation in physical activity and sport within your community
Types of barriers: • Practical • Lack of time and childcare, money, transport, safety, etc. • Social and Cultural • Patriarchal society, attitudes and prejudices, sexual harassment • Personal • Worries about body image, clothing and equipment • Lack of confidence • Parental or peer influence
To know how best to engage women and girls, you need to have an understanding of the particular barriers they might face… the best way to do this is toask theexperts… thewomen and girlsthemselves! Ask the experts!
