On January 23, 2023, the SNB, represented by Julie Campassens, attended the conference “Political priority, economic and media development: Today’s and tomorrow’s challenges for women’s sport!“.
Organized by the Sport and Citizenship Think Tank and the Neptunes de Nantes, a 100% female high-level handball and volleyball club, this symposium offered participants the opportunity to reflect on the current challenges of women’s sport and the women’s access to sport.
Supported by the Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Mrs. Amélie Oudéa-Castera, and Mrs. Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, the discussions focused on two main themes :
1-The brakes on the development of sport for women, whether they affect sports practice for all or the high level.
2-The solutions to be implemented to guarantee equal access to the practice of sport as well as the economic and media development of high-level sport for women.
