More than 20 people from four European countries are taking part in the two-day session in Latvian capital Riga.

"The project is halfway through and we are delighted with the results we are already witnessing," said Agnė Vanagienė, the project initiator and LNOC's deputy director of Olympic sport.

"The participants have gained not only knowledge, but also confidence, inspiration and motivation to take initiative, organise projects and achieve higher career goals.

"There is a shortage of women in leadership positions in sports organisations, therefore it is very important to help and inspire them."

The event is the second time the project has taken place.

This occasion sees participants learn about the communication aspects of sports administration and personal branding. 

Two practical sessions were held on the first day of the training, during which the participants developed personal branding strategies.

The project is funded by the European Union and is primarily implemented by LNOC and the National Olympic Committees from Italy, Latvia, Estonia, and Slovakia.

A total of 100 sports administrators from five countries are participating in the project.

"After the training, the young women were given the task to prepare and present the knowledge gained during the training to the rest of the young women in Lithuania, to share good practices," said Vanagienė.

Future sessions of the New Miracle Women's Leadership Project are set to take place this month, as well as during September and October.
