Specially designed to help sport educators and coaches inculcate values in a clear and comprehensive way, Sport Singapore’s Game-for-Life (GFL) toolkit presents sporting pursuits as opportunities for character development and learning valuable life lessons. The Game for Life practical workshop will equip participants with a deeper understanding of the necessary components required to intentionally design sporting activities that integrates the teaching of skills and values seamlessly. The GFL approach is part of the Values and Principles in Sport (VPS) course created by SportSG and MOE.
