Leveling the Field: Sport and HPE's Role in Social Change

"Empowering Change: The role of Health and Physical Education (HPE) and sport in building socially just societies" unites experts from academia, education and sport to discuss the transformative role of HPE and sport in fostering social justice, equality and equity.

As we navigate our shared global and local challenges of inequality, injustice and inequity, it’s important to consider how societal institutions like education and sport can serve as vital instruments for social change, promoting inclusivity and unity across communities and countries.

Through provocative discussions, our panellists aim to highlight innovative research, strategies and collaborative efforts to encourage a more inclusive society, tackling the big question: How can HPE and sport contribute to more socially just societies?

This thought-provoking roundtable promises to motivate researchers, educators, policymakers, and students alike to champion social justice initiatives within their work and communities.

Join us to contribute to this important dialogue and be part of shaping a fairer society for all.
