Online registration is now open for the Special Schools PE and Sport Conference 2008 - Inspiring Dreams: Creating Opportunities.
Taking place from Monday 1st – Tuesday 2nd December at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, Inspiring Dreams: Creating Opportunities is the 3rd national conference for those delivering PE and sport opportunities to young disabled people and Special Educational Needs pupils.
With the Government’s commitment to ensuring all young people have access to five hours high quality PE and sport per week and the success of TeamGB at the Beijing Games, this is a unique time for PE and school sport. With London 2012 only four years away, the theme for this year’s conference focuses on how PE and sport can inspire young disabled people to maximise their potential, including educational attainment, personal skill development, or to realise their sporting potential.
The conference will consider the various roles that special schools and wider partners play from delivering high quality PE and sport to supporting and influencing others to fully include all young disabled people. The conference also provides opportunities for the extended network of county disability officers and other education and sports agencies to consider how, through working with special schools, clearer pathways can be created from school to community sport so creating meaningful and sustainable opportunities.
