Gender, football and citizenship in Cameroon and Senegal
The kick-off workshop of project "Kick It like a Girl! Young women push themselves through football in the African public space" took place last week in Yaounde.
This four-year project conducted in partnership with the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES SO) in Switzerland, University Gaston Berger in Senegal and the Catholic University of Central Africa in Cameroon will examine the engagement of girls in junior football teams as a real experience of citizenship.
