World Leisure Center of Excellence (WLCE) is an international graduate/post-graduate network which offers opportunities for colleges and universities to affiliate with WLO to establish and provide graduate educational programs and research centers focused on play, recreation, the arts, culture, sport, festivals and celebrations, health and fitness, travel and tourism with an international dimension. It gives students, educators, researchers and professionals the chance to participate and contribute to uniquely theme-focused educational endeavors.
The Centers of Excellence network programmes receive strong organizational and promotional support from the WLO Secretariat. WLO fosters WLCE leisure studies, disseminates their publications through its website and social media channels, and promotes their forthcoming events. Moreso, WLCE benefit from the opportunity of using WLO logo either on their website or on any key documentation.
