Physical Literacy in Schools Conference

Research has consistently shown how important childhood can be for developing a positive and meaningful relationship with movement and physical activity. We also know how pivotal the roles of teachers, coaches and parents / guardians can be in nurturing these positive experiences. That said, concerns for the children remain with some less active and unhealthier than ever before, whilst others are more involved in intensified and professional programmes. 

This 1-day event will bring together leading researchers and practitioners working with and in schools to present, share and discuss ways of supporting child and adolescent Physical Literacy (“our relationship with movement and physical activity throughout life”) in schools. Through sharing stories and working collaboratively we hope to support and promote children's health and happiness through movement, sport and physical education.
