Course Rationale

Individuals, non-profit organisations, sports federations, development agencies, governments and various important private stakeholders across the globe are today beginning to understand the social impact of sport and the potential it has to connect, reach out and inspire communities and youth for positive changes, like little else can.

Sport has been around for centuries, but the concept of using sport as a tool for development is a fairly recent phenomenon. However, it is now becoming an important part of a number of humanitarian and developmental projects worldwide. The Sports for Development (S4D) sector has been an extremely positive and exciting addition to the field of development as well as the sports industry.

This course has been designed to make it relevant to practitioners, government officials, policy makers, social workers, sports trainers and managers as well as researchers who have limited insight into S4D, but are interested in building their knowledge and capacity to integrate S4D approaches within their overall development frameworks.

The course provides an in-depth introduction to the concept of S4D, what the current global policies are, who the key players are and what their impact has been. Moreover, it provides the basis and platform for any interested individual to design and implement a successful S4D programme using sports to tackle social and developmental issues.

The course has been developed by Pro Sport Development (PSD) along with PRIA International Academy (PIA).
