The SOL Foundation assists the Laureus Foundation Switzerland with the implementation of the dance initiative DanceQweenz, introducing interested girls and young women to dancing as a sport at an early stage mainly to promote independence, empowerment, exercise and social integration.
Problem to be tackled
Studies show that sporting activity amongst girls over 12 years of age decreases significantly and is clearly lagging behind boys of the same age. The physical consequences of lack of exercise can be decisive for personal development and the confidence of young women.
