Girls on the Move
The Girls on the Move Leadership courses are aimed at young women interested in leading sport and dance sessions in their communities. Youth Scotland is working with Sport Leaders UK to offer young women aged 16 – 24 years the opportunity to learn leadership skills and build confidence by completing an Award in Dance or Sport Leadership, young people can also have their achievements accredited through Youth Scotland's Youth Achievement Awards.
The Sport Leaders UK Awards are nationally recognised qualifications that use sport and dance to help young people learn essential leadership, communication and teamwork skills. Completing an Award also increases young people's confidence and self esteem. Course participants will complete 7 modules including: planning dance activities; communication skills for leading dance activities; health, fitness and safe dance practices; and understanding the relationship between music and dance. Following the training, the young women will be supported to lead dance sessions in their own communities.
