The Move2B Project uses sport as an agent for change to empower girls across Ireland. Our aim is to retain teenage girls already involved in sports and support girls that have dropped out to re-engage with sports and physical activity.

Our mission and goal is for teenage girls to have enough resources and evidence-based information to help them work with their bodies and discover their athletic and personal potential. 

Research shows that girls who continue with exercise throughout their teens do better not only academically, but socially and emotionally with the benefits echoing long after their school days.

The Move2B e-learning programme is delivered by Niamh and Órna in three 40 minute modules. Each module has a mixture of video content and extension activities. The aim of the videos is to highlight the different barriers to physical activity that the girls may experience. We provide the girls with resources and evidence-based information to help them work with their bodies and discover their athletic and personal potential.

Throughout the programme we encourage participation at all levels and broaden the definition of ‘sport’. We connect with the girls through our videos by sharing different experiences and perspectives with them. Supportive interactive activities and reflective questions are presented to the girls throughout the modules. Our aim is to ensure that the girls believe that physical activity and sport have a place for them and their friends.
