A unifying sport and educational event for
teachers around the world.
Through the ISF Universal Teachers Games, the ISF wishes to create a unique event
combining sport and education for all teachers. The objective is to promote school sports
by offering teachers an unforgettable experience and the recognition they deserve. The
ISF intends to bring together teachers and allow them to exchange knowledge and good
practices during this event.
The ISF Universal Teachers Games will give a voice to the main actors of school sport,
teachers and will assist in their training. The importance of sport at school, its positive
impact on the health of the players, pedagogical innovations, disability at school or the
implementation of educational projects by teachers are subjects that the ISF Universal
Teachers Games intend to highlight. This event will be a world first and will bring together
a large community of teachers involved in sport and education for young people.
