Green:Girls Programme - Empowering Girls through Physical Activity

At EcoCoach, we believe that every girl deserves a positive and empowering experience in physical education. Our Green:Girls Programme is designed to increase participation and enjoyment for girls during PE, creating an environment where they can thrive, build confidence, and have fun while staying active. This unique program emphasises choice, inclusivity, and eco-consciousness, ensuring every girl feels supported and inspired.

Program Highlights:

1. Choice-Based Activities

   • Girls can choose from a variety of engaging activities like dance, team sports, yoga, or outdoor eco-adventures. This choice-based approach allows each participant to explore what they enjoy most, ensuring PE is always a positive experience.

2. Supportive and Inclusive Atmosphere

   • Our sessions focus on creating a welcoming environment where girls can feel comfortable, make friends, and enjoy being active without the pressure of competition. We prioritise social interaction, teamwork, and personal growth, celebrating each participant's unique progress.

3. Leadership and Empowerment Opportunities

   • The programme encourages girls to take on leadership roles by leading activities, mentoring peers, or contributing to the planning of future sessions. This helps build confidence and fosters essential skills like communication and teamwork.

4. Sustainability Integration

   • We incorporate eco-friendly practices and activities to promote environmental awareness. Outdoor adventures, recycling-themed challenges, and nature walks are just a few examples of how we combine fitness with a commitment to sustainability.

5. Collaboration with Male Allies

   • Periodically, we hold mixed sessions where girls lead activities, encouraging boys to be allies in promoting an inclusive PE environment. This helps to foster mutual respect and break down gender stereotypes in sports.

6. Celebration of Achievements

   • Regular recognition events celebrate the progress of participants. We use eco-friendly rewards, such as plantable seed medals and sustainable sports gear, to reinforce the connection between physical activity and caring for the environment.

Program Structure:

• Weekly Sessions: 1-hour sessions held once or twice a week, featuring warm-ups, choice-based activities, and a cool-down with reflection.

• Themed Modules: The program is organised into fun modules like Fitness Fun, Team Spirit, Creative Movement, and Outdoor Adventure.

• Feedback and Improvement: We regularly collect feedback from participants to ensure the program continues to meet their needs and remains engaging.
