Neurodiversity and Sport

Monday 10th March

11:00am-12:30pm

The term “neurodiversity” describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in different ways. There is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.

This online seminar aims to inspire sports organisations, coaches, athletes, and supporters to foster a more inclusive and diverse sporting landscape.

In this online webinar, we will focus on how inclusive practices can create opportunities for neurodivergent individuals to thrive in sporting environments. We will provide practical strategies to promote inclusivity and support neurodivergent athletes, coaches, and colleagues.

Intergenerational Inclusion in the Sport and Physical Activity Sector

Monday 14th April

11:00am-12:30pm

At the 2022 Games in Birmingham, we saw George Miller, aged 75 years, win a gold medal for Scotland in lawn bowls and Anahat Singh, a 14-year-old badminton player, compete for India. It’s not just on the international stage where we see such a diversity of ages, but also in classes, clubs, community centres, the countryside, and parks all around the country.

The passion for being active transcends age and generational boundaries. Nowadays, workforces are more likely than ever to be intergenerational, comprising of five generations working together. This is even more apparent in sport and Physical Activity, where staff, volunteers, officials, and coaches can be from such a broad spectrum of age groups.

In this webinar, we will support you in understanding the different dynamics of intergenerational environments and how to create inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive.
