We have now created two opportunities for the event:

To broaden the reach of our work to a much wider audience and generate further interest in TGfU and games-based approaches, the TGfU Sig and University of Worcester organisers have decided to join AIESEP’s 2021 Summer Conference . There will be an online pre-conference day on 7th June 2021 and further details of the programme will be announced shortly. The symposium will enable us to be able to share current research, exchange ideas and to plan for work to be presented in Worcester. There will be some opportunities to share your research at this event although there will obviously not be a practical component. If you submitted an abstract for the 7th International TGfU conference, the University of Worcester organisers will be contacting you regarding your plans for this work.
The TGfU Conference 2020 will be a world-leading, international, inclusive event for all academics, teachers and sports coaches interested in games-based approaches.
This pre-Olympic and Paralympic 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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.
