Why study sport?
Welcome to the Clubhouse Talk series by Amina Moustafa, Ireland.
On April 30 we launched this new talk series about sport sociology. In this series Amina will encourage us to think critically about sport and analyse the impact sport has on us and the world at large. Together we will uncover the complex relationship between sport and society and discover how sport can perpetuate certain values and beliefs.
This first talk focus on Global Goal 4 Quality Education. Talk number 2 ‘Gender relations in sport’ will focus on gender inequality and the Global Goals 5 and 10.

All trainings and talks in the GGWCUP Clubhouse are created by women from within our community, who are driven by passion and purpose. In 2019 Amina was one of the 13 coaches who took part in the Eir Coach Program (EU Amb. Coach) supported by Erasmusplus.
