GENDER EQUALITY TOOLKIT
FOR GENERATION Z
The objective of the Gender Equality Toolkit for Generation Z (GETZ) project is to develop,
deliver and evaluate an innovative educational resource specifically designed to educate
Generation Z on the issues relating to gender equality and equal opportunities in sport.
The initiative for the GETZ project comes
from the continued prevalence of gender
inequality in sport and the need to look at
this issue from the perspective of the next
generation.
Consortium partners have recognised the
presence of gender inequality in sport in
their countries and are committed to work
on gender related projects.
The project started in 2018 and will run
for three years. The main focus of the
project is the creation of the GETZ toolkit,
which will be implemented in the form of
a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC),
consisting of a unique set of lessons and
resources specifically designed to high-
light the issue of gender equality in sport
in a practical, theoretical and applied way.Working collaboratively on GETZ, partners
will facilitate a consistent approach to
educating future sport leaders on the
issue of gender inequality. The project will
result in the creation of the GETZ MOOC
and a gender equality research study.Steps towards raising the awareness
among generation Z (the next generation
after millennials) in order to achieve bet-
ter outcomes in the future are the basis
for the project’s work, while another firm
objective is to encourage females to takea career within sport, whether in manage-
ment or other activities.The coordinator of the project is the
University of Worcester (GBR), with three
more education bodies in the consortium
including Amsterdam University of Ap-
plied Sciences (NED), Vrije University of
Brussels (BEL), Molde University College
(NOR), as well as three sports governing
bodies – the Swedish Sports Confedera-
tion (SWE), Croatian Olympic Committee
(CRO) and the European University Sports
Association (SLO).The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+
Programme of the European Union.
