Keith Irving — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:00:00 GMT

There is a crisis in women's sport and fitness in the UK. More than 80% of women and girls are not doing enough physical activity to benefit their health. Young women are now half as active as young men. The situation is forecast to get even worse over the next ten years. Creating a Nation of Active Women is the essential event in the sporting calendar for anyone with an interest in getting more women involved in sport and exercise. Hosted by the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF), the conference will build on last year's ground-breaking event which drew widespread national attention to the crisis in women's physical activity.

Sport in Post-Disaster Intervention

Vincent Chew — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 15:00:00 GMT

My name is Vincent Chew, and I am with the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education in Berlin. I would like to invite you and your network to participate in ICSSPE's 2nd Sport in Post-Disaster Intervention seminar, which will occur from 1-7 November 2008 in Rheinsberg, Germany. For one week, professionals involved in various tasks in disaster relief efforts will mix with students, researchers, and others to learn from experts and each other to share their experiences in assisting communities to overcome trauma. This is an opportunity to participate in unique training sessions designed to teach skills that can have a substantial impact on an affected community. This special seminar provides theoretical and practical training in a controlled gym setting, combined with a multi-disciplinary perspective on how to incorporate sport and physical activity into a disaster relief setting. Disciplines include psychology, adapted physical activity, pedagogy, and more. Session topics include: - Sport and Reconstruction - Examples of Good Practice (Ms. Jutta Engelhardt and Ms. Jaleh Saboktakin, Swiss Academy for Development) - Occupational Therapy in Disaster Relief (Ms. Susanne Ettel and Ms. Susanne Waldow, Fürst Donnersmarck Foundation) - Didactics (Teaching and Learning) in Crisis Areas (Mr. Ian Pickup, Roehampton University) - Inclusive Activities and Games (Mr. Ken Black, Right To Play) - Developing Activities Without Equipment (Mr. Christoph Schwager, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) - Psychology As Part of Emergency Relief (Dr. Alan Kirk, Kennesaw State University) - Monitoring and Evaluation in the Disaster Setting (Ms. Marianne Meier, Swiss Academy for Development) For those interested in presenting their work in the field, ICSSPE has made arrangements for a poster session which can be used to highlight projects, research, and other information relevant to the topic. Participants in the seminar will come from all over the world, as disasters can strike both industrialized and developing areas. The seminar attracts both disaster relief professionals who want to incorporate sport and physical activity in their efforts, but also those with a sport background, who want to expand their projects into the rapidly growing sport and development area. Space is very limited, so you are urged to register immediately. Please note that registration is not considered complete until registration fees have been received by ICSSPE. For the latest on programme information, and to register, please visit our website at www.icsspe.org This event is held under the leadership of the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education and is financed with the assistance of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Germany), in co-operation with Kennesaw State University (USA), the Fürst Donnersmarck-Foundation, the German Red Cross, and Freie Universität Berlin.
