Advancing Education Through Sport and Physical Activity

Education is one of ICSSPE’s three strategic pillars and a fundamental driver of sustainable development.

We believe that quality education in physical activity, physical education and sport has the power to improve health, develop life skills, promote inclusion and strengthen communities across the world.

ICSSPE works with educators, universities, governments, international organisations and sport bodies to improve educational opportunities, support lifelong learning and promote excellence in physical education and sport.

By connecting education with research and policy, we help ensure that learning remains relevant, evidence-based and responsive to the needs of society.
