In order to achieve this overall goal, several actions will be conducted by the 3 partner organizations from 3 European countries. Several specific objectives can be highlighted: - Perform an analysis and mapping of legal, social, and cultural practices of gender equity in sport governance organizations in the 3 European countries involved in this project (France, Italy, and Sweden). - Obtain a benchmark with concrete and operational steering indicators to create a label in order to support professional and amateur sport clubs, federations, leagues and organizations in their development policy and implement an action plan by adopting an European code of conduct and guidelines - Disseminate and promote this label in the 3 European countries involved by creating a network between structures sharing the idea that diversity is a richness for sport governance.
