The P.E. Hub aims to generate a variety of specialised activities for delegates to develop practice and lead meaningful change in Physical Education, as part of the School of Sport and Exercise Science consultancy umbrella. Activities may be hosted through interactive workshops, talks, presentations, and/or personalised packages for your educational institution.
Our PE team at the University have wide-ranging backgrounds and experiences in teaching, research, and consultancy, particularly around Physical Education, School Sport and Physical activity (PESSPA), and we aim to facilitate learning environments for colleagues, within the field of primary, secondary, FE and further education.
Activities driven from this hub will permit delegates to explore professional development opportunities through a wide variety of interactive and practical workshops, insightful speakers and presenters, and tailored packages, with an opportunity to network with likeminded colleagues within our discipline.
The P.E. Hub will also establish valuable and diverse ways which the university collaborates with external stakeholders for the benefit of the economy and society. Furthermore, it will also give researchers at the University an opportunity to interact and develop new links with relevant stakeholders in the industry and enable future research projects to emerge.
