Inclusive Sport: in-house training
Take advantage of the Inclusive Sport in-house webinar packages
From parks to podiums, sport and physical activity have the power to change both communities and lives.

Webinar 3: Neurodiversity and Sport
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.

Birmingham 2022 was the first-ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men. 49% of athletes attending the Olympics in Tokyo were women, and 40.5% of athletes attending the Paralympics were women. Whilst this is good news, there is still a long way to go across the whole spectrum of Sport and Physical Activity, especially when considering intersectionality.

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.
