Lisa O\u2019Keefe, Secretary General of IWG, joined a panel discussion at the WiMENA (Women In Middle East North Africa) Women in Sport Conference on the topic of \u2018Unlocking Sporting Potential\u2019.<\/p>\n

The conference, held at Stamford Bridge – the home of Chelsea Football Club, provided a platform for experts from the sports sector from the UK, Middle East and North Africa to highlight their plans and vision for women in sport.<\/p>\n

The panel, facilitated by Newcastle University\u2019s Director of Sport Katy Storie, focused on how collaboration can support the growth of women\u2019s sport globally and the broader role women can play within the sport sector to make an impact away from the pitch.\u00a0 The panel members shared how their work plays a critical role in this space, with perspectives coming from Amanda Fone (F1 Recruitment), Thayer Lavielle (Wasserman \/ The Collective), Nadia Shahrestani (Chelsea FC Women) and Nino Severino (former Olympic and British No.1 tennis coach), as well as from IWG.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the conference, Lisa said: \u201cI enjoyed the panel discussion, and I would like to thank the team at WiMENA for pulling together this event focussing on sport for women and girls in the Middle East and North Africa. It was a superb opportunity to hear examples of work from across the region, from growing the numbers of active women and girls right through to high performance sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversation we had on our panel focussed on the value and impact of unlocking sporting potential through tackling barriers to participation and creating inclusive cultures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an opportunity to remind the audience that barriers for women and girls are often built into the way sport is designed and delivered. Therefore, in order to benefit from the long-term impact, focus should be placed on tackling the bias within the system and creating these inclusive cultures, rather than trying to ‘fix the women’, as we so often see.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was also refreshing to see so many men in the room, and indeed to have Nino on the panel, as gender equality isn\u2019t a problem which women alone should be looking to address.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main conclusion reached by the panel was that there is a willingness to collaborate when it comes to progressing women\u2019s sport. There is clear evidence from each panel member\u2019s perspective that there is a desire to share information and to learn from others, and that is where IWG plays in important role in connecting people and sharing insight.\u201d<\/p>\n

IWG repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 la conf\u00e9rence WiMENA Women in Sport<\/h2>\n

Lisa O\u2019Keefe, secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l\u2019IWG, a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 une table ronde lors de la conf\u00e9rence WiMENA (Women In Middle East North Africa) sur le th\u00e8me \u00ab Lib\u00e9rer le potentiel sportif \u00bb.<\/p>\n

La conf\u00e9rence, qui s\u2019est tenue \u00e0 Stamford Bridge – le domicile du Chelsea Football Club, a permis aux experts du secteur du sport du Royaume-Uni, du Moyen-Orient et d\u2019Afrique du Nord de pr\u00e9senter leurs plans et leur vision pour les femmes dans le sport.<\/p>\n

Le panel, anim\u00e9 par la directrice des sports de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Newcastle, Katy Storie, s\u2019est concentr\u00e9 sur la mani\u00e8re dont la collaboration peut soutenir la croissance du sport f\u00e9minin dans le monde et sur le r\u00f4le plus large que les femmes peuvent jouer dans le secteur du sport pour avoir un impact en dehors du terrain. Les membres du panel ont partag\u00e9 le r\u00f4le essentiel que leur travail joue dans cet espace, avec les points de vue d\u2019Amanda Fone (F1 Recruitment), Thayer Lavielle (Wasserman \/ The Collective), Nadia Shahrestani (Chelsea FC Women) et Nino Severino (ancien entra\u00eeneur de tennis olympique et n \u00b0 1 britannique), ainsi que d\u2019IWG.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9fl\u00e9chissant \u00e0 la conf\u00e9rence, Lisa a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u00ab J\u2019ai appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 la table ronde et je tiens \u00e0 remercier l\u2019\u00e9quipe de WiMENA d\u2019avoir organis\u00e9 cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement ax\u00e9 sur le sport pour les femmes et les filles au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord. Ce fut une excellente occasion d\u2019entendre des exemples de travail de toute la r\u00e9gion, de l\u2019augmentation du nombre de femmes et de filles actives jusqu\u2019au sport de haut niveau.<\/p>\n

\u00ab La conversation que nous avons eue lors de notre panel s\u2019est concentr\u00e9e sur la valeur et l\u2019impact de la lib\u00e9ration du potentiel sportif en s\u2019attaquant aux obstacles \u00e0 la participation et en cr\u00e9ant des cultures inclusives.<\/p>\n

\u00ab C\u2019\u00e9tait l\u2019occasion de rappeler au public que les obstacles pour les femmes et les filles sont souvent int\u00e9gr\u00e9s dans la fa\u00e7on dont le sport est con\u00e7u et dispens\u00e9. Par cons\u00e9quent, afin de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier de l\u2019impact \u00e0 long terme, il faut se concentrer sur la lutte contre les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s au sein du syst\u00e8me et la cr\u00e9ation de ces cultures inclusives, plut\u00f4t que d\u2019essayer de \u00ab r\u00e9parer les femmes \u00bb, comme nous le voyons si souvent.<\/p>\n

\u00ab C\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e9galement rafra\u00eechissant de voir autant d\u2019hommes dans la salle, et m\u00eame d\u2019avoir Nino dans le panel, car l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes n\u2019est pas un probl\u00e8me que les femmes seules devraient chercher \u00e0 r\u00e9soudre.<\/p>\n

“La principale conclusion \u00e0 laquelle est parvenu le panel est qu\u2019il y a une volont\u00e9 de collaborer lorsqu\u2019il s\u2019agit de faire progresser le sport f\u00e9minin. Il est clairement prouv\u00e9 du point de vue de chaque membre du panel qu\u2019il existe un d\u00e9sir de partager des informations et d\u2019apprendre des autres, et c\u2019est l\u00e0 que l\u2019IWG joue un r\u00f4le important dans la mise en relation des gens et le partage des id\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

IWG representada en la Conferencia WiMENA Women in Sport<\/h2>\n

Lisa O’Keefe, Secretaria General de IWG, particip\u00f3 en una mesa redonda en la Conferencia de Mujeres en el Deporte de WiMENA (Mujeres de Oriente Medio y Norte de \u00c1frica) sobre el tema “Liberar el potencial deportivo”.<\/p>\n

La conferencia, celebrada en Stamford Bridge, sede del Chelsea Football Club, sirvi\u00f3 de plataforma para que expertos del sector deportivo del Reino Unido, Oriente Medio y el Norte de \u00c1frica destacaran sus planes y su visi\u00f3n para las mujeres en el deporte.<\/p>\n

El panel, moderado por la Directora de Deportes de la Universidad de Newcastle, Katy Storie, se centr\u00f3 en c\u00f3mo la colaboraci\u00f3n puede apoyar el crecimiento del deporte femenino a nivel mundial y el papel m\u00e1s amplio que las mujeres pueden desempe\u00f1ar dentro del sector deportivo para tener un impacto fuera del campo. Los miembros del panel compartieron c\u00f3mo su trabajo juega un papel fundamental en este espacio, con perspectivas provenientes de Amanda Fone (F1 Recruitment), Thayer Lavielle (Wasserman \/ The Collective), Nadia Shahrestani (Chelsea FC Women) y Nino Severino (ex entrenador de tenis ol\u00edmpico y brit\u00e1nico n\u00famero 1), as\u00ed como de IWG.<\/p>\n

Reflexionando sobre la conferencia, Lisa dijo: “Disfrut\u00e9 de la mesa redonda y me gustar\u00eda agradecer al equipo de WiMENA por organizar este evento centrado en el deporte para mujeres y ni\u00f1as en Oriente Medio y \u00c1frica del Norte. Fue una magn\u00edfica oportunidad para escuchar ejemplos de trabajo de toda la regi\u00f3n, desde el aumento del n\u00famero de mujeres y ni\u00f1as activas hasta el deporte de alto rendimiento.<\/p>\n

“La conversaci\u00f3n que tuvimos en nuestro panel se centr\u00f3 en el valor y el impacto de liberar el potencial deportivo a trav\u00e9s de la eliminaci\u00f3n de las barreras a la participaci\u00f3n y la creaci\u00f3n de culturas inclusivas.<\/p>\n

“Fue una oportunidad para recordar a la audiencia que las barreras para las mujeres y las ni\u00f1as a menudo est\u00e1n integradas en la forma en que se dise\u00f1a y se imparte el deporte. Por lo tanto, para beneficiarse del impacto a largo plazo, se debe hacer hincapi\u00e9 en abordar los prejuicios dentro del sistema y crear estas culturas inclusivas, en lugar de tratar de “arreglar a las mujeres”, como vemos tan a menudo.<\/p>\n

“Tambi\u00e9n fue refrescante ver a tantos hombres en la sala y, de hecho, tener a Nino en el panel, ya que la igualdad de g\u00e9nero no es un problema que las mujeres por s\u00ed solas deban abordar.<\/p>\n

“La principal conclusi\u00f3n a la que lleg\u00f3 el panel fue que existe una voluntad de colaborar cuando se trata de progresar en el deporte femenino. Hay una clara evidencia desde la perspectiva de cada miembro del panel de que existe un deseo de compartir informaci\u00f3n y aprender de los dem\u00e1s, y ah\u00ed es donde IWG juega un papel importante en la conexi\u00f3n de las personas y el intercambio de conocimientos”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
