IABA’s Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Officer, Patrick Adejayan, has taken a significant step towards fostering inclusivity by commissioning and funding an engaging online session focused on Unconscious Bias.
This Unconscious Bias Bite-Sized learning session is designed to empower participants with essential insights, practical strategies, and creative approaches to deepen their understanding of unconscious bias in the context of sports and physical activities.
The first session takes place online on Wednesday, February 12th at 4pm, lasting approximately 15 minutes

Through this interactive learning experience, participants will explore how unconscious bias can affect their interactions and decision-making processes. They will gain valuable knowledge about the impact of bias on accessibility and inclusivity.
Additionally, the session will provide practical tools and innovative ideas for modifying and adapting sports, physical activities, or physical education programs to ensure they are welcoming and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or abilities.
The ultimate goal is to create a more equitable environment where everyone can participate fully and feel valued.
Attendees will be engaged through interactive group work and theory content and will be introduced to adaptation tools. These tools will be applied to a variety of games and activities to make them inclusive for all ability groups.
All participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance after the workshop.
Places are limited. If you register for a place on this course and cannot attend, please advise IABA’s DEI Officer, Patrick Adejayan, through patrick.ad@iaba.ie so that your place can be offered to an IABA member on the waiting list.
