INTERNATIONAL PLAY’IN TOGETHER CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN BELGIUM
16.06.2022
An international Play’In Together conference on the power of sport was held in Leuven, Belgium from 13 to 16 June. Play’In Together relies on an innovative teaching method developed by PLAY International: Playdagogy. It aims at using sport games as an educational medium to treat sensitive topics otherwise. It allows children to learn and grow while playing and having fun. The final event brought together all European partners involved in the project, as well as sports professionals from all over Europe. The conference was also attended by Joanna Dochevska – Chairperson of Bulgarian sports development association, who presented part of the methodology in the aspect: Sports beyond disabilities.
Play International and the European institutions share a common priority: social inclusion and equal opportunities in sport at European level. This priority already was at the heart of the "Values of Olympism" pilot project. Indeed, it was a powerful lever contributing to the personal development of children, promoting a healthy life and teaching them to share, tolerate differences between each other, and work collectively to achieve goals. Today, PLAY International and the Olympic Games Bid Committee Paris 2024 capitalize on this inspiring initiative in order to share its results.
