UNIS Hanoi Hosts The 10th PHASE Asia Pacific, conference on PHE, Sports, Athletics & Aquatics, and Experiential Learning

Annual conference on Physical Education, Health, Athletics & Aquatics, Sports, and Experiential Learning (PHASE).
The PHASE Asia Pacific Conference celebrates its 10th anniversary this year in Hanoi forecasts the attendance of 500 educators from across the region.
HANOI, VIETNAM, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The PHASE Asia Pacific Conference celebrates its 10th anniversary this November 2026 at the United Nations International School Hanoi (UNIS Hanoi), bringing together almost 500 educators dedicated to transforming how schools approach physical education, student health, sports, athletics & aquatics as well as experiential learning.
Scheduled for 14-15 November 2026 (add to calendar), this milestone gathering will convene PE educators, health teachers, athletics directors, and wellness leaders from across the Asia Pacific—a community that has grown significantly since PHASE launched a decade ago in response to the need to have an annual event bringing together educators focused on these important topics.
The two-day conference (and associated pre-conference events) will feature expert keynotes, hands-on workshops from leading practitioners, and structured networking designed to send participants home with immediately applicable strategies for their schools.
"We are deeply honored to welcome the PHASE community to UNIS Hanoi for this momentous anniversary," said Dr. Elizabeth Gale, Head of School at UNIS Hanoi. "As a school committed to innovation and global citizenship, we recognize that student wellbeing underpins everything else we do. Hosting PHASE aligns perfectly with our mission to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world."
Carlos Galvez, Chair of the PHASE Committee, emphasized the conference's evolution: "What started as a gathering of passionate PE teachers has become the region's essential forum for advancing physical and health education. This 10th anniversary is both a celebration of that journey and a launchpad for the next decade."
Justin Hardman, CEO of 21st Century Learning, which produces the conference, added: "In an era of increasing screen time, academic pressure, and mental health challenges among young people, the work of the PHASE community has never been more urgent. This anniversary conference will equip educators with the tools and connections they need to champion student wellness at their schools."
