Registration open for 15th ENSE Forum

Sport and Physical Education hold an important place in the lives of many EU citizens and have a powerful potential for social inclusion both in and through sport. Inclusion in sport involves aspects such as ‘sport for all’, equal access to sport and equal opportunities in sport. Furthermore, increased employment, healthy living, gender equality, solidarity and intercultural dialogue are main topics of future societies in the EU.

Sport itself does not necessarily foster societal change. For a sport activity to have societal impact, the education of teachers, coaches and trainers plays an essential role. In this respect, the professional competence, skills and knowledge of teachers, coaches, managers and exercise professionals is of critical importance. When considering the connection between sports education and societal values, the focus is not only on a physical fitness and motor skills, but competences and skills in areas such as inclusive teaching, diversity management, relationship building, conflict resolution and counselling.
