CLUBHOUSE talks
Let’s talk about sport and the Global Goals
All Clubhouse Talks are created by women from within our community. They all offer us their time because they believe in the power of togetherness that has powered the GGWCUP movement since the beginning.

Global Goal 10 Reduced Inequalities: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
To help reach this goal, you can:
- Engage in the fight against discrimination
- Support and engage in the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQI+ movements and others.
The world’s biggest to-do list : The 17 Global Goals
If you created the world's biggest to-do list, what would you put on it? No Poverty, Climate Action, Gender Equality?
The Global Goals are also known as The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In this GGWCUP Clubhouse talk series we are discussing the targets and why the Goals matter and what we all can do to reach them by 2030.
Speaker: Clara Halvorsen, Denmark.

Why study sport?
In this Clubhouse Talks 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.
Speaker: Amina Moustafa, Ireland. @TheNamesAmina (TW) / @thenamesamina (IG)
In this session, Amina will ask the question of why governments choose to fund elite sport. We will explore the UK's model of sport and its underlying assumptions, and how China and the US used ping pong as a political pawn in the balance of power.
Racism in Sport is not always obvious. It can take on many forms and can take place in various settings, with sport being no exception.
Amina will explore how gender ideologies can impact people's experience of sport. How we define sex and gender can lead to societal expectations of men and women and how men and women 'should' behave. Gender stereotypes that exist in society can also be seen in sport. We will take a closer look at how testosterone has been used as a biological criterion to label women as women in elite sport.
Nelson Mandela said ‘Sport has the power to change the world’. With that in mind, Amina hopes to harness the power of sport to achieve peace and development around the world.
Amina holds a BA in Neuroscience and is an Academic Associate at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, teaching and completing a PhD in the sociology of sport.
Passionate about sport from a young age, she’s been involved in football, taekwondo, athletics, swimming and gaelic football for many years. Using sport as non-formal learning tool to tackle numerous social issues, she has worked with sports organisations in Ireland and abroad such as FIFA, the Special Olympics, Sport Against Racism Ireland and Champions Factory.
In 2019 Amina was one of the 13 coaches who took part in the Eir Coach Program (EU Amb. Coach) supported by Erasmusplus.

Team Talks
In these talks we reflect on the new times and how it is affecting girls and women around the world and what each and everyone of os can do to mitigate them. We also talk about how we can stay active and continue being sport activists while being apart.
In this Clubhouse Team Talk we catch up with Team Hope Fighter from Hamburg.
"In this world you have only one ultimatum weapon and that is education! Money and power are nothing compared to knowledge! Education not only means going to school, it also means that you have to give your knowledge to the person next to you. In my opinion, everyone needs the access to educate themselves, go on trips and see the world to gain knowledge, wisdom and an open mind. And with that the world is gonna be in good, reflective and optimistic hands," – Sara.
