On 23 June in Paris, EPAS gathered together several of its member states who wish to play a part in a new CoE-EU joint project which is expected to be launched in January 2018. They also met with specialists from the sports movement and organisations promoting gender equality issues. The meeting took a look back at the lessons learned by partners involved in Balance in Sport 2016 and prepared the road ahead for a wider-scale data collection project, with more tools, training and awareness raising initiatives likely to be the main aims of the 2018 project.
Collecting data on gender equality in sport on leadership, coaching, participation, media / communication and gender-based violence, so that progress can be monitored, allowing for comparisons between countries and between sports, and to help design evidence-based policies
