The University of Wuppertal is hosting the 18th Wuppertal School Sports Symposium on 18 November. Under the guiding theme "Digitally supported physical education - an opportunity for everyone?", the training event is aimed at interested physical education teachers, subject leaders, trainee teachers, university lecturers and students. The aim is to discuss current developments, opportunities and challenges of digital media in physical education and make them tangible in a practical way. Registration is still possible.

After a welcome from host Prof Dr Judith Frohn (Department of Sport Didactics), Svenja Kehm (Leipzig University) opened the event with a keynote speech entitled "Digital media in PE lessons - a benefit for everyone?". The lecture will shed light on how digital media can contribute to inclusive lesson design and how the equal participation of all learners can be supported.

This will be followed by a choice of three practice-orientated workshops, two of which participants can attend:

  • Dancing with AI - shaping cooperative learning with chatbots
    (Philipp Wetzel, Freiburg University of Education)
    How can AI-supported learning guidance support cooperative learning processes? An innovative teaching concept is tested in practice using the example of a jointly developed dance choreography.
  • Out and about together - strengthening team spirit with digital Bounds
    (Prof. Dr Heike Tiemann & Svenja Kehm, both University of Leipzig)
    A digital scavenger hunt with the Actionbound app will be tested, focusing on teamwork and the participation of all learners.
  • Film ab - mit Tablets Bewegung inszenieren
    (Anne Bangert, Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg, & Janina Kern, Bergische Universität Wuppertal)
    Participants create short action trailers in groups using tablets and experience how creativity, the joy of movement and media skills can be meaningfully combined.

The symposium

The training event will take place on 18 November from 1 to 6 p.m. in the Uni-Halle Wuppertal (Albert-Einstein-Straße 20). The participation fee is 15 euros. Registration is possible until 11 November at https://indico.uni-wuppertal.de/e/schulsportsymposion.
