Introduction to Inclusive Learning Principles – Activity Alliance
Join activity Alliance and partners from across sport and physical activity for a live webinar to find out how organisations are using the Inclusive Learning Principles (launched earlier this year) in their work.
You’ll hear from organisations involved in developing and embedding the principles about:
- How they are using the principles in their own work.
- Practical examples and quick wins that others can take away.
- Challenges they have faced and lessons they have learned.
- How inclusive learning can support a more diverse sport and physical activity workforce.
- How the principles can be used across different types of learning and development – not just eLearning.
- How to use the Inclusive Learning Principles self-assessment tool to review your own approach.
There will also be an opportunity to put questions directly to the speakers during a live Q&A.
