º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ UNESCO Student Network

Using sport, physical education and physical activity to bring about positive impact within the local º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ community and the wider global community.

The º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ UNESCO Student Network (LUSN) was launched in 2022 as part of the UNESCO Chair within the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at the University.

It is led by Doctoral Researchers and Masters students within the School and was initiated as a means of ensuring that they can play an active role in the activities of the UNESCO Chair.

The LUSN aims use sport, physical education and physical activity to bring about positive impact within the local º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ community whilst also considering the potential application of its initiatives to the wider global community. 

Gender equity, cultural diversity and sustainability

LUSN has identified three priority areas: gender equity, cultural diversity and sustainability. 

The Network is now working to respond to the question: ‘How might we promote inclusivity and sustainability through sport, physical education and physical activity in the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ community?’

Working groups are presently underway with their projects and further details will be reported here in due course.
