On November 26-27, 2020, teachers of the Department of Physical Education took part in the IV International Conference “Sustainable Development and Heritage in Sports: Problems and Prospects”, which this year took place remotely.
In his welcoming speech, NOC President S. Bubka stressed that the global challenges of 2020 have confirmed the need for the development of society, following the goals of sustainable development.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has once again demonstrated that sport is a crucial factor in today’s global efforts to build society. The United Nations has adopted a joint statement from member states to the governments of the states on the inclusion of sport as a powerful lever for the reconstruction of society in the afterlife. ”
Scientific directions of the conference:
1. Modern environmental issues in terms of the concept of sustainable development of physical culture and sports.
2. Formation of value orientations of the younger generation in the modern paradigm of Olympic education.
3. Olympic sport in the implementation of sustainable development goals: the integration of science and practice.
4. Health and recreational physical activity – a healthy lifestyle – a healthy nation.
Current topics cover important scientific and practical aspects of the history and current state of sport and its sustainable development, sports ecology, Olympic education, training systems for athletes.
During the discussion, it was concluded that the solution of serious problems related to sustainable development cannot be provided solely through political agreements, financial incentives and technological solutions. This requires radical changes in the mentality and principles that underlie the actions of each individual, a review of attitudes toward others, as well as relationships with ecosystems that ensure human life.To build a fairer, more peaceful and sustainable world community, each individual and society must be armed with the knowledge, skills and values, and have a clear understanding of how to achieve such change.
