Communities and Crisis –
Inclusive Development Through Sport

To augment ICSSPE´s seminars on Sport in Post-Disaster Intervention, this event will deliver an interdisciplinary training package for evolving and using sport programmes for development and inclusive community building. It will be relevant to both beginners and experienced workers in this field.

Designed for social workers, psychologists, students and sport professionals, the seminar will provide participants with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required to deliver psycho-social sport and physical activity programmes in social problem and crisis areas.

International experts and practitioners in sociology, psychology, social work, occupational and physical therapy, as well as sport and physical education, will deliver a curriculum of hands-on practical workshops combined with theoretical sessions.
