In the 21st century, education increasingly recognizes the importance of values and social skills in addressing pressing issues such as inactivity, obesity, unemployment, and conflict. This approach aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4, which emphasizes quality education, advocating for inclusive lifelong learning opportunities and innovative content delivery methods.

Implementing dynamic forms of values-based education through sports in schools can empower teachers to deliver curricula actively and collaboratively.

In India, the Sport Values in Every Classroom Toolkit has been contextualized to enhance educational outcomes. To date, 20 video modules have been developed and successfully pilot-tested in government schools across the Delhi NCR region. The pilot resulted in notable improvements in student engagement and their understanding of values such as inclusion, equity, and respect. Both teachers and students provided positive feedback, reinforcing the toolkit's effectiveness in promoting inclusive and holistic learning environments within the Indian context.

The pilot testing of the final 10 contextualized modules in government schools in Odisha has been successfully completed, supported by a grant of $20,000 from the government of Odisha. This accomplishment marks a significant step forward in expanding the initiative's reach and impact.

With invaluable input from civil society and academic partners, UNESCO’s Social Impact of Sport and Physical Activity (SAPA) framework is breaking new ground in understanding how sports contribute to societal well-being beyond physical health. Developed in collaboration with the Sports and Society Accelerator, this framework establishes clear indicators to assess community benefits, positioning sports as a powerful tool for inclusive growth and fostering long-term community resilience.
