Sport has enjoyed universal appeal for much of human history and its importance to society continues to be the object of contemporary research, literature and media. As a cultural activity it shows its prevalence all over the world and is widely considered an important artefact.
In recent times, there has been an increased interest from a wide variety of public and private stakeholders in the power of sport to achieve developmental outcomes. It’s ability to cut across a range of physical and cultural boundaries to unite people justifies this interest, making ‘Sport for Development’ (S4D), an essential field of inquiry. The S4D sector like many others, faces changes in a post-pandemic world and the course considers these possibilities.
There is a great need for professionals to navigate and understand this emerging but important sector in order to make sure sport’s power is handled responsibly. This course highlights the essentials of this discipline and invites individuals working in related fields to help develop their understanding of the same. It is reasoned that the course can serve as an interesting pit-stop in one’s professional development journey.
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 has been developed by Pro Sport Development (PSD) along with PRIA International Academy (PIA) and UNESCO New Delhi.
