Welcome to EquaWHand!

The “Equability in and Through Handball: Leveraging Women’s Inclusion Towards Better Sports for Everyone” (EquaWHand) project, initiated by the Turkish Handball Federation (THF), is a significant venture under the 2022 European Union Erasmus+ Sport program. As the project coordinator, THF will oversee its implementation in collaboration with the University of Ljubljana from Slovenia and the Sports and Body Movement for Social Empowerment Association (BoMoVu) from Turkiye.

The project will encompass a series of targeted activities, including specialized workshops to gather sport-specific insights, digital training sessions scheduled at specific intervals, face-to-face workshops, and internships for participants within handball clubs. A notable aspect of the project involves participants organizing a high-level match, which will serve as a practical application of their training. One of the project’s primary long-term goals is to empower participants to take on managerial roles within handball clubs post-completion.

By providing international-standard training and enhancing practical opportunities, the project aims to pave the way for potential career paths in handball management. This initiative will encourage sports clubs to integrate more women into management positions, thereby contributing to the overall development of handball and promoting the principle of “better sports for everyone.”

The EquaWHand project specifically aims to train female managerial candidates from various regions of Turkiye, equipping them with strategic management skills necessary for handball administration. By fostering increased women’s employment in management positions, the project aspires to create lasting impacts on the handball community and beyond.
