Participants will explore Universal Design principles to create, lead and assess quality physical literacy sessions. Stick around for the afternoon session, where Dean Kriellaars – one of the founders and world-renowned experts in physical literacy – will show delegates how to integrate circus arts into physical education, sport and recreation settings.
