Sport learning quest: Organise

Use maps and statistics to create an overview of your country. You might include data on life expectancy, access to safe water and sanitation, government spending in health and education, and recent progress on Millennium Development Goals. Select a specific sport and/or event and find out how successful your country has been at it nationally and internationally. You might use a timeline to show success over a number of years or a medal tally. Outline some barriers which prevent your country achieving greater success (eg geography, cost, education, cultural practices). Research activities which are helping your country to overcome barriers Decide which sporting competition might offer your country its best chance of success. Outline ways in which people in your country could be helped to compete more effectively nationally and internationally. Make a recommendation about further ways in which international competitions could be made fairer for countries with barriers to overcome. Identify any further research you need to undertake to support your answer to the global question: Do all countries have a chance of success in international sporting competitions?
