Reimagine sports: exploring the Netherlands

Guus Heijnen

Abstract

In the project I’m currently working on the aim is to understand human experience in close relation to larger planetary systems. More precisely: developing a (sportive) relation with and within a specific bioregion. Not only can this take us closer to localized traditional sports from pre industrial society, more importantly it can give us the possibility to make a shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism through sport. A new understanding considering our existence and to ‘planetary health’ is what is desperately needed in the unfolding process of ecological crisis (Gammelsaeter & Loland 2022) (Goldblatt, 2023).
