From October 2020 to May 2021, the Latvian Academy of Sport Education will organise a series of virtual workshops. During the workshops, 3-4 authors will present short papers followed by a discussion in which all participants are welcome to participate. The papers will be short and concise and may be based on research by both well-known and emerging scholars.

The workshops will take place once a month on Thursdays on Microsoft Teams. These workshops are open to all interested parties without prior registration.
