The International Physical Literacy Conference (IPLC) is designed to bring together health, education, recreation and sport experts to advance the knowledge, application and implementation of physical literacy programming across the globe. The conference engages leaders, practitioners and stakeholders of physical literacy from around the world in a truly collaborative environment.
Hosted in partnership with New York Road Runners and Physical Literacy for Life, the International Physical Literacy Conference 2023 is taking place in New York City on May 2-5. Join experts from around the world to learn about best practices in program design, implementation and evaluation for developing physical literacy.
Every individual embarks on a physical literacy journey. By developing physical literacy across the lifespan, individuals empower themselves to be better at school, at work and at physical activities. Developing physical literacy will also lead to improved mental health and well-being, and increased resilience. This also incentivizes people to better engage with their community. Physical literacy is important to every sector, and each sector has a role to play in ensuring everyone has the opportunity to develop it.
