Rethinking Women’s Sport Events: ReWSE Networking Event at the European Sport Platform in Split
The ReWSE project team held a networking event as part of the European Sport Platform, which ran in Split from 15 to 17 October 2026. The event was hosted by ENGSO member the Croatian Olympic Committee.
ENGSO EWS Committee organised the event together with the ReWSE project partners on Friday, 16 October. It looked at the future of women’s sporting events through five key pillars: investment, innovation, visibility, participation and leadership.
A panel with many perspectives
Mathias Roos moderated a panel that brought together views on inclusion, disability, LGBTQI+ representation and women’s empowerment in sport. The speakers were:
- Tarja Krum, ENGSO EWS Committee
- Alice Bruni, Assist
- Sarah Townsend, ENGSO EWS Committee
- Sarah Kerrigan, IWA Sport
- Alexandre Charrier, Solenn Thomas and Ryadh Sallem, Alice Milliat Foundation
From discussion to group work
After the panel, participants split into working groups, each taking on one of the five pillars. EWS Committee members and ReWSE project partners led the groups, which shared ideas and practical approaches for making women’s sport events stronger, more visible and more inclusive.
Partners meeting
The day before, on Thursday, 15 October, the ReWSE partners held a project meeting. They reviewed progress on the map of women’s sport events, newly released online course, and the upcoming national online seminars.
