Physical Literacy SIG
The Physical Literacy SIG provides a platform to enable continued discussion and leadership across academia, policy and practice for the purpose of furthering research, disseminating information, developing resources and sharing best practice as it relates to physical literacy.
A core philosophy of this SIG is supporting collaboration throughout the Asia-Pacific region that translates research and activates approaches with a particular focus across sport, health and education.
