Context
Girl Power Academy Greece is an educational programme run by the Athens Comics Library in partnership with the Danish organisation Girl Power, created to train new women coaches and leaders in football/soccer and to challenge the perception that the sport is not equally open to both sexes.
Objectives
The programme aims to give young women the tools and methodology to build leadership, communication and personal-development skills, and to practise inclusive coaching behaviour, ultimately enabling participants to set up their own grassroots women's football teams.
Activities
The programme runs in three stages: a 3-day 'Girl Power Coaching Seminar' introducing the Girl Power coaching methodology; an intensive empowerment stage focused on leadership skills and networking, in which participants work towards creating their own grassroots women's football team; and a 'Girl Power Mentorship Program' in which each participant is paired with a mentor who helps them transfer what they have learned to their own community.
Conclusions
The source describes the programme's design and stated goals but reports no participant numbers, teams formed, or other measured outcomes, so its case as good practice currently rests on programme design rather than demonstrated impact.
