As educators, it is essential that we recognize the importance of promoting an inclusive and diverse environment inside our classrooms but also outside. It is here that scholars are suggesting the use of outdoor sports and games to combat discrimination. The benefits of incorporating them in our work are vast. These sports/games encourage physical activity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. They also foster a sense of community and connection and form a relation with nature.

Physical education teachers, but not only, will have the opportunity to learn the rules of these sports, practise them with other teachers and at the end, teach them to their students. They are all carefully selected to be easy to play, without any complex rules and with equipment which is affordable and easy to find. Furthermore, their advantage lies in the fact that they can be adapted and can be played indoors, outdoors or at the beach. At the same time, traditional games will play their part in this course as they are inclusive in their majority and the students love to play them often and not only in fairs and special occasions. Teachers will expand their knowledge in traditional games and have a variety of tools to teach their students. 

Trainers will be in contact with the participants in order to solve any questions or doubts and provide advice on accommodation, airports, airlines etc. They will also familiarise participants with the website of the seminars (https://www.learntoteacheu.org/115-outdoor-sports-larnaca) which will be used to upload pedagogical material created during the course duration.
