Sport Leadership
The Oxford Sport Leadership Lab is pioneering a set of programmes to use sport as a platform to inspire, educate and engender a greater sense of belonging.
Where? Oxford
On the local level we will be piloting a project focusing on “Sport, Education, and Community” with Greyfriars School in Oxford. The pilot will seek to deliver a sports and educational programme that draws on the University’s academic and sports resources that is both practical and inspirational for a group of young students from the school.
Where? Kakuma, Kenya
We will deliver a pioneering programme with the Kakuma refugee camps in Kenya after the end of the Trinity Term, where we will take our learnings from the year to run an innovative sports and education programme in collaboration with one or more of the stakeholders present in Kakuma.
As well as community impact work, the Lab is developing a set of leadership workshops with sports teams and professional organisations to combine the practical with the theoretical and explore concepts such as performance, team development, and leadership in an evolving and dynamic world.
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire [and] it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does"
