The World Academy of Sport (WAoS) delivers learning programmes for sports and event participants - athletes, managers, administrators, officials and coaches - through a series of tailored educational programmes.
The 2016 IPC Academy Campus has ‘opened its doors’!
Pilot takes off!
The IPC Academy is delighted to announce that the full details of the Games Experience Programme (GEP) are now available. Key speakers are also being confirmed for this exciting programme with several important individuals already announced.
The Games Experience Programme is being held between 3 to 5 September 2012 and will give governments, bidding and candidate cities, and those involved in the Paralympic Games supply chain a much greater understanding of the complexities involved in delivering the second biggest sporting event in the world.
The programme will give attendees a multi stakeholder perspective of Games management and of the London 2012 Paralympics to help them understand strategic drivers for hosting such an event. Delegates will also observe specific core operating functions of Games delivery.
Combining a mixture of presentations from highly-experienced and renowned experts in the delivery of large-scale sporting events together with tours of key sites and networking opportunities, the programme represents an exciting initiative for governments and companies to further engage with the Paralympic Movement at the highest level.
Two presenters already confirmed are Jean Tomlin (HR Director at London 2012) and Commissioner of Transport for London, Peter Hendy. The Academy will continue to update the list of presenters and a complete list of confirmed presenters can be found at www.ipcgep.com.
