Train with one of the best in the gameJoin us in Amsterdam for an unmissable SquashSkills camp with two of the sport’s top figures, Gregory Gaultier and Lee Drew. This is your chance to train with Gregory, the “French General” — a World Champion and former World Number One, famed for his explosive movement and squash intelligence. We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time, and we’re excited to finally give you the opportunity to learn from one of the game’s all-time greats, both as a player and a successful coach. Gregory now works with some of the sport’s current top stars, including Nour El Sherbini and Mohamed ElShorbagy, helping them refine their game and stay at the top of the rankings. Over these two days, you’ll get a first-hand look into the techniques and mindset that helped Gregory dominate for years and continue to influence the world’s best players today. Coaching team: Gregory Gaultier, Lee Drew & Gary Nisbet What you'll learnWe’ll focus on improving your movement, positioning, and accuracy. Gregory will show you how to get into the best positions on court, control the middle, and use your movement to dictate play. But it’s not just about how well you move—you’ll also learn how to combine that movement with accuracy to keep your opponents under pressure. This camp is for players of all ages and levels who want to take their game to the next level. And don’t worry, it’s not just two days of ghosting—it’s about moving with purpose, taking control of the court, and understanding the mindset that kept Gregory at the top for so long. Alongside the on-court work, there’ll be an evening social and workshops where you can gain deeper insight into what made Gregory one of the world’s best, both as a player and coach. If you’re serious about improving your game and learning from the best, this camp is the perfect opportunity. Places are limited for this event and we expect it to sell out quickly. Early booking is strongly advised. Information Source: SquashSkills | eventbrite

Colonial patterns in education: Can we dismantle and reimagine the framework that built a workforce, not a future? Education is a core foundation of any society. It’s commonly know that education systems across the world are about 100 years out of date. What’s lesser known is that a lot of education systems in Global South were weaponised and patterned on colonialism — and still do today. Meanwhile education systems in the Global North skip over colonial histories. What is also alarming is that, as an act of novelty, the Global North is 'decolonialising' themselves by appropriating and misusing concepts birthed in the GS with their own rebrand. Once again, exploitation and extraction! How can we recognise the colonial patterns in education systems, and re-pattern them in a decolonial way?
