The international gender and sport symposium will take place to facilitate dialogue around women and sport in the Middle East and Europe.

It gives us tremendous pleasure to invite you to the first IAPESGW Regional Symposium: International Gender Issues and Sport which will be held in the capital city of Turkey, Ankara from 4-5 September 2014. In this era of globalisation, women are facing many new challenges in the field of sport and physical education which transcend distance and cultures. In this context we wish to elaborate on the many debates informing the scientific, cultural, economic, historical and political foundations and challenges of gender and sport/women in sport internationally.

The IAPESGW Regional Symposium brings together decision-makers, researchers, coaches and athletes with the aim to:

  • Advance the international dialogue around women and sport
  • Improve the dialogue around women and sport internationally with a special focus on the Middle East and Europe
  • Reinforce the collaboration between researchers and practitioners in women and sport in Middle East and Europe

This symposium brings together a range of topics involved in women and sport including:

  • Gender policies and sport participation
  • Religion, ethnicity, diversity and sport
  • Leadership and sport
  • Gender equity in physical education
  • Health and physical activity
  • Safety and inclusion for girls and women in sport

We look forward to welcoming your support and enthusiastic participation at the IAPESGW Regional Symposium in Ankara, Turkey.
