The TGfU Conference 2022 will be a world-leading, international, inclusive event for all academics, teachers and sports coaches interested in games-based approaches.
The event will integrate practitioners and academics in cutting-edge discussion surrounding the challenges of implementing games-based approaches in a broad range of settings. Specifically, this event will impact the advancement of games-based approaches through a particular focus on inclusive sport, scientifically-informed approaches, technologically-advanced practice, teacher/coach education and cross-cultural domains.
The overarching academic themes for the event will be:
There has been an unavoidable worldwide increase in the prominence of policy, rhetoric and research concerning inclusive sport, especially since the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Therefore, TGfU 2022 will be a timely event to review and also drive developments surrounding this agenda. We consider inclusive sport to represent the full spectrum of practice from issues surrounding, for example, disability, technology, gender, culture and religion. TGfU 2022 will facilitate the cross pollination of the games-based and inclusive sport agendas and so be of genuine interest and usefulness for almost all teachers and coaches. By focussing on daily themes of inclusive sport, integration and implementation, this event will be a significant staging post in the onward development of games-based practice and be of considerable appeal for all teachers, coaches and academics.
