For children and young people across the world, watching the Commonwealth Games will hopefully inspire a lifelong love of sport and physical activity – regardless of their country, culture and contextWITH THE Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games now concluded, we are already starting to think about the importance of its legacy for young people. As a sports mega event, its reach is significant and goes well beyond Birmingham and the concept of Commonwealth.
Yet, whilst we talk about legacy. We also need to consider much broader social, cultural and contextual factors as to how and where this impact happens. Very recent conversations with competing athletes from across the Commonwealth suggests that whilst their experiences have similarities, their journey and developmental stories differ significantly between their contexts and cultures.
Our understanding of the complexity and fluidity of development in children and young people, therefore, needs some cultural and contextual thought and consideration, and we must consider the key issues of diversity, inclusion, safety and child protection in all we do in providing children with sport and physical activity opportunities.
