Football United is excited to announce the Sportswomen for Change Leadership Program.
The Sportswomen for Change Leadership Program at Dubai Expo 2020 will focus on harnessing the power of sport to promote gender equality and social cohesion and increase awareness of sport’s role in contributing to achieving Australia’s 2030 Sports Diplomacy Objectives, designed to “Strengthen Communities”.
Between February - March 2022, Football United will be hosting the third Sportswomen for Change Leadership Program supported by the Commonwealth through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Council for Australian-Arab Relations.
The 6-week virtual leadership program will foster inclusion and cross-cultural exchange of 20 emerging leaders in sport to champion sports for social change between Australia and Arab regions.
The program will provide emerging female leaders a sophisticated virtual learning experience with access to expert facilitators and the tools to develop creative solutions and positive change in their communities.
