Delegates from the University of Worcester have visited Japan to provide advice on inclusive sport and legacy plans ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, according to a press release issued on 19 April.
The university’s arena has accommodated regional, national and international sport fixtures and events for those with disabilities, while helping to break down barriers to participation in sport among all social groups.
The trip to Japan follows a visit to Worcester in 2015 by a delegation from the Tokyo 2020 organising committee, who observed the university’s inclusive approach to coach and teacher education.
