Shining a spotlight on local realities, the Continental Network Sessions will explore the distinct challenges and opportunities shaping women and girls’ sport across every continent – amplifying regional voices and perspectives on a global stage.
Held simultaneously on Day Three in Birmingham, each Continental Network Session will bring together delegates from its own Continent – Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe and Oceania. These are not presentations to watch, but interactive conversations to join. Delegates will take part in open dialogue with Continent experts and peers, tackling the issues that matter most in their context.
Each delegate will attend the Continental Network Session for their own Continent, making space for authentic, locally grounded exchange. Together, the five Continents create a truly global dialogue – distinct in focus, but united in purpose.
Across Autumn 2025, the Continental Network Sessions will be defining their ambitions, objectives and agendas. In the months that follow, we will begin to share how each Session is taking shape – unveiling programmes built from the ground up, rooted in Continental priorities and perspectives.
