ICSE is more than a conference
The International Conference on Sport and Education [ICSE] intents to function as a Podium for academic research and as a Platform for sharing best practices, debate and focus on employing: the methodology of ETS
Sport can teach values such as fairness, teambuilding, equality, discipline, inclusion, perseverance and respect. Sport contributes to a healthy lifestyle and has the power to provide a universal framework for learning values, thus contributing to personal wellbeing and development of (soft) skills up to favorable conditions triggering responsible citizenship
Die Plattform möchte belegen und darüber nachdenken, wie der Sport traditionelle Bildungsparadigmen erweitert und neue Instrumente und Verfahren einführt. Eine integrierte und multisektorale Perspektive auf Bildung durch Sport (ETS) und seine Anwendungsszenarien – für die Akzeptanz durch die Interessengruppen und die gesellschaftliche Wirkung
Kurz gesagt: „Mit dem Sport eine bessere Welt aufbauen“ – zitiert von der Zusammenarbeit zwischen UN und IOC
