EDF3172 Inclusion and diversity in movement contexts

In this unit, the core question considered is how to ensure all young people, regardless of ability, ethnicity, gender, social class or sexuality, are able to enjoy and participate fully in a range of movement contexts. At a theoretical level, the unit introduces you to the concepts of social inclusion/exclusion and inclusive practice within sport and physical activity settings. This enables you to develop a sophisticated understanding of the issues associated with diversity and inclusion. In practical sessions, the unit develops your knowledge on differentiating your delivery to meet the learning needs of diverse participants, with a particular focus on supporting full participation of young people with a range of intellectual, physical and sensory disabilities. You will develop understanding of how inclusive delivery of sport and physical activity can contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world. The practical sessions develop strategies to support you to deliver sport and physical activity in ways that are ethical, foster participation and are challenging for all. They encourage you to reflect on your practice, developing skills to become advocates for inclusive delivery in your future work.
