Building an active nation – the ‘Boing’ programme

  19th January 2021

​​​​​The University of Gloucestershire, in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University and Sport England, is working on a project called ‘Boing’, a social enterprise designed to make physical activity more playful and inclusive for primary aged school children. The programme also aims to develop knowledge, confidence and expertise in coaches, teachers and volunteers working with young people in diverse sport and physical activity settings. 

The team has developed an innovative online resource which offers over 130 games, to support professional development of practitioners working with young people in sport, education and other physical activity settings. The programme is currently providing coach/teacher/volunteer education workshops throughout the UK.  You can find out more about the scheme here.
