As part of the public lecture series "Studies in old age", Prof. Nils Neuber gave a lecture on the topic "Sport as a school of tolerance?" In addition to questions of social learning, he also addressed the discussion of values in sports. In addition, Prof. Michael Krüger contributed basic ideas on Olympic education as a surprise guest. Against the backdrop of the current debate on diversity in the context of the European Soccer Championship, the topic took on additional relevance.

In view of the time after Covid-19 the “Sportwissenschaftliche Fakultätentag NRW” (Sports science faculty association NRW) agreed on a good balance between digitalization and presence during its 15. session. Directed by Prof. Nils Neuber there were discussions about extending the teacher studies programs in NRW, Covid-19 support programs in sports and the “Forschungsverbund Kinder- und Jugendsport NRW” (research association child and youth sports NRW). The state chancellery also informed about re-tendering of the country award “Sportwissenschaft für NRW” (sports science for NRW).

The second course book by Prof. Nils Neuber about the Master lecture “Fachdidaktische Konzepte” (subject-didactic concepts) has been published. Given the title “Fachdidaktische Konzepte II – Themenfelder und Perspektiven” (subject-didactic concepts II – topics and perspectives) it deals with sport-didactic fields of decision along the six pedagogic perspectives impression, expression, venture, performance, social affairs and health. WWU students and teachers can access the first and second volume for free using the VPN connection of the ULB. The sports didactics exam literature contains links to the individual chapters as well.
