The online Workshop “Sport for All & Education” hosted in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) successfully took place on 28 April and recorded 190 registrations. The Workshop was the seventh event of the TAFISA Mission 2030 Workshop Series.  

How can Sport for All be utilised to benefit and enhance education? The Workshop aimed to answer that question by looking at a diverse range of aspects from Physical Education and organised sport activities helping children develop social, emotional, leadership, and other important life skills, to initiatives utilising sport to provide formal and informal educational opportunities.

Following welcome words by TAFISA Secretary General Wolfgang Baumann and LJMU Reader Dr Lawrence Foweather, who moderated the Workshop, speakers from different backgrounds shared their insights on how Sport for All could enhance education and provide educational opportunities, from quality physical education and P.E. interventions to Sport for All initiatives connecting physical activity with formal or informal education.
