If there’s a time to reflect and understand the real meaning of your role, that time is now. I’m sure you have heard the conversations around doing things differently and how we cant and don’t want to go back to the way it was. Recent conferences have centered the discussions around the need for change, the need to be innovative and the need to be inclusive.
If your role has anything to do with working with the community, this session is for you. If you are responsible for:
- supporting sporting clubs to rebuild after months of shut down
- designing and delivering physical activity programs and initiatives
- activating community recreation, leisure and open space
- planning for the future provision of community facilities and services
- building communities through active recreation, play and sport
The session will outline:
- Strategies to help rebuild community after COVID-19
- Using physical activity, sport and recreation as a community development tool
- Case studies applicable to pandemic recovery and community physical activity and activation
- Enhancing open space quality through community connection and contribution
If you want to attach more meaning to your role, join the conversation around how to Rebuild From The Community Up post Covid-19.
