Human Development and Sport

HFS/SPM 327, Human Development and Sport, examines the dynamics of youth development, social change, and social inclusion in the context of sport. Students examine perspectives of youth development and principles of sport that facilitate personal, social, and cultural development. Students explore ways in which sport-for-development programs provide positive environments and opportunities for collaboration, social change, inclusion, and human enrichment. The connections of sport-based initiatives to community, national, and global developmental issues are explored.
