09 Apr Katherine Raw – The Future in Youth sport program, East Timor: Impacts on Youth, Coaches and Community
This webinar is on the impacts of a “Sport for Development” (SFD) initiative conducted by Australian Catholic University (ACU) in East Timor. Sport is increasingly being recognised as a low-cost and efficient vehicle for achieving various social development goals throughout the international community. Often grouped together under the label of ‘sport for development’ (SFD), sport programs within developing nations are thought to have the potential to decrease the impacts of poverty and social isolation, as well as foster health and social networks.
