"<< Background >>THE INCLUSION OF GIRLS AND TEENAGERS IN SPORTS EDUCATION needs a boost in terms of promoting their equitable inclusion. It has been detected that the female gender is an underrepresented group in society in sports, among others. Girls and teenagers present less attractive offers based on their tastes and interests, which is why the abandonment of physical-sport activities in this population group is more frequent. As evidence of this, the World Health Organization (WHO) in one of its studies in 2019 affirms that “only 23.8% of adolescent women (between 12 and 25 years old) meet the minimum requirements of physical activity and whose difference with men has been increasing in recent years ”. Once this problem has been detected, from GIRLS TEAM UP !, we consider it possible to address these needs through this project, which aims to BRING THE FEMALE GENDER TO AN EQUAL SITUATION WITH REGARD TO THE MALE IN SPORTS MATTERS. For this, it is necessary to ANALYZE where the obstacles are in the teaching of BASE SPORTS EDUCATION and how it evolves during subsequent periods. One of the main objectives of GTUp! is TO CREATE ADHERENCE TO SPORTS PRACTICE AT EARLY AGES. This issue fits perfectly with our selected horizontal priority: INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN ALL AREAS OF EDUCATION, TRAINING, YOUTH AND SPORTS. How can we achieve it? At GIRLS TEAM UP !, we consider it essential to PROMOTE INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES, SPECIFIC TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND FUTURE EDUCATIONAL AGENTS IN FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL EDUCATION and, in addition, to develop new digital tools that facilitate the coordination and achievement of inclusion objectives to through a more COMPREHENSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE approach. Also, GTUp! is also addressed to HEADS OF EDUCATIONAL CENTERS AND SPORTS CLUBS to help them identify the gaps and weaknesses of their educational plans and prepare them to face the necessary challenges in an INCLUSIVE AND QUALITY SPORTS TRAINING FOR THEIR STUDENTS. This way of addressing the detected need positions us in favor of APPROACHING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL PREPARATION, RESILIENCE AND CAPACITY, another of our priorities selected to carry out our project. The INCLUSION of girls and young people in SPORTS EDUCATION needs greater visibility, betting firmly on the PROMOTION AND PARTICIPATION OF FEMALE SPORTS so that, as they grow and advance in the different stages of their development, the ABANDONMENT OF SPORTS PRACTICE can be MINIMIZED, because the percentage is very high after 12 years of age.<< Objectives >>The aims and objectives of the GIRLS TEAM UP! (GTUp!), are closely linked with the HORIZONTAL AND SECTORAL PRIORITIES in the field of HIGHER EDUCATION, specifically with the following: HORIZONTAL PRIORITY 1INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN ALL AREAS OF EDUCATION, TRAINING, YOUTH AND SPORTS. HORIZONTAL PRIORITY 2ADDRESSING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL READINESS, RESILIENCE AND CAPACITY. SECTOR PRIORITY 1STIMULATE INNOVATIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING PRACTICES. SECTOR PRIORITY 2REWARD EXCELLENCE IN LEARNING, TEACHING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. SECTOR PRIORITY 3CREATE INCLUSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMS. SECTOR PRIORITY 4SUPPORT THE DIGITAL CAPABILITIES OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR. The horizontal and sectoral priorities mentioned will be very present in our GTUp! project since we intend through DIGITALIZATION to promote the INCLUSION of the female gender in the SPORTS FIELD. In recent years, female sport has been having a greater impact in terms of DIFFUSION AND VISIBILITY than was usual, but the data on participation in sports in girls and adolescents does not seem to be altering. The GTUp! echoes this need and aims at INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN ALL AREAS OF EDUCATION, TRAINING, YOUTH AND SPORT, specifically, through this last area is where the central part of our project is framed, establishing an interconnection through different tools and digital resources between FORMAL EDUCATION and NON-FORMAL EDUCATION, involving teaching staff and non-teaching staff to become agents that facilitate and promote physical-sports activity in school and outside it. To promote the inclusion of girls and adolescents in sports, thanks to the creation of new tools, interactive resources and digital content, we will be working fully on APPROACHING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF PREPARATION, RESILIENCE AND DIGITAL CAPABILITIES .. Without this TRANSFORMATION OR DIGITAL CAPACITY, it would be unthinkable to be able to work in the same methodological line with different universities, clubs and associations at the EUROPEAN LEVEL with the aim of THE INCLUSION OF GIRLS IN SPORT EDUCATION. Therefore, once the priorities that our project includes as well as the needs detected to address it have been specified, the objectives that we want to meet with its development are the following: Offer improvement strategies in school physical education in the female sphere. Develop learning practices and innovative teachings related to the motivation and permanence of girls in sport. Promote inclusion in educational systems by improving the teaching profile of educational agents in both formal and non-formal education. Influence the promotion of role-models of female athletes as a tool for empowering girls from their first contact with school sports.Improve teacher coordination as a strategy to offer a more effective, equitable and sustainable sports education.<< Implementation >>The programmed activities are varied and organized according to the previously mentioned objectives and priorities of the project. They are as follows: 1. Web GIRLS TEAM UP!Which will consist of the following areas: - Private area for coordinators and work teams: Information on DATES, PLACES AND MEETING MINUTES WITH AGREEMENTS AND IMPROVEMENT PROPOSALS agreed in the different meetings and meetings that will take place throughout the project. - Public area: MULTIMEDIA MATERIAL informative of all the activities carried out, updated links of the materials and articles, minutes of the conferences and international congress. It will include links to the different multiplier events for the online registration of participants. The web will be a FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF DISSEMINATION. In addition, it will show all the phases of the project: preparation, development and subsequent activities. In this way, the progress of the project will be recorded in detail and its results will be permanently available, guaranteeing the sustainability of its impact and the dissemination of what has been obtained. 2. SCHOOL FIT interactive e-book.It includes the result of previous research and offers a series of fundamental materials to educational centers and sports clubs in order to ADDRESS THE PROCESS OF DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS OF INCLUSION OF GIRLS AND ADOLESCENTS IN FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL SPORTS EDUCATION. Contains: - Self-assessment tools of the center / club with specific indicators. - Action protocols to face the necessary changes with security and advice. - Examples of good practices. 3. MOVE IT PLATFORM.It will be especially dedicated to training in new active methodologies in online environments. This platform will allow teachers to reflect, and LEARN AND IMPLEMENT TEACHING-LEARNING METHODS. It will also include a special section dedicated to the dissemination of ROLE-MODELS testimonies from professional athletes to promote the establishment of female references in the practice of sports for girls and adolescents. 4. YOUCAN, an INTERACTIVE GAME in which the athletes will be able to improve their physical, technical and tactical skills in different sports modalities. In addition, they will be able to count on different educational pills related to theoretical aspects of the sport that they select, as well as advice related to the PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIVING HABITS. 5. LINKED APP, essential to face one of the most critical problems in the process of monitoring the obstacles to effective female inclusion in sports education. This tool will allow EARLY DETECTING, EVALUATING AND RESPONDING TO CASES OF DISCOORDINATION between the different sports agents in their group or individual attention to female students and athletes in formal and non-formal settings. With activities 2, 3, 4 and 5 we clearly face the objectives of the project in the attention and proposals to the target groups: educational agents and management teams or sports managers. 6.

The educational and informative nature of these activities (6, 7 and 8) for teachers and future teachers, sports coaches and monitors, management teams and managers of sports activities in the private and public sphere, academics and researchers, educational and sports authorities is basic in this project. A special effort will be made in the quality of these MULTIPLIER EVENTS as a key to transmitting the results obtained, disseminating the conclusions and favoring channels for the introduction of IMPROVEMENTS ON THE INCLUSION OF GIRLS AND ADOLESCENTS IN FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL EDUCATIONAL EDUCATION.<< Results >>GIRLS TEAM UP! Project aims to transform the reality of SPORTS EDUCATION in the feminine sphere, without being exclusive to the masculine, due to the different EXPECTED RESULTS AND MULTIPLIER EVENTS that will take place from its approval until its completion, also counting on the SUSTAINABILITY of its results due to its durability over time. Through the results of the project, it is intended to reach more than 800 educational agents and more than 10,000 students and athletes, which will place us in a very advantageous scenario when drawing significant conclusions about our fundamental horizontal priority characterized by INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN ALL AREAS OF EDUCATION, TRAINING, YOUTH AND SPORTS. This scope would not be possible without our project partners, since thanks to them we will be able to increase the sample in the different fields of the EDUCATIONAL SECTOR, as well as the provision of scientific rigor in the expected results of our project. GTUp! will include in your project the following EXPECTED RESULTS: 1. SCHOOL FIT: This digital tool will allow educational centers, especially MANAGEMENT TEAMS, and sports clubs, specifically their DIRECTORS, to locate themselves and know their starting point through a DIAGNOSTIC SELF-ASSESSMENT. That is, thanks to an application they will be able to know how inclusive their centers / clubs are at a sporting level. In addition, depending on the results obtained, they will be able to have expert advice on how to advance in those aspects that can be improved in terms of INCLUSION OF FEMALE SPORTS. 2. MOVE IT PLATFORM: It is a digital platform aimed fundamentally at PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL, although it may also be used by students of TEACHING AND SCIENCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SPORTS, as well as TRAINING students SUPERIOR PROFESSIONAL related to the sports field.
