Harnessing the power of sport: building community & connection

 -  | GMT Standard Time

The Steps, RSA House

Join us for this Fellow-led discussion exploring the relevance of sport in addressing key societal challenges through the building of connections and fostering a sense of belonging within communities. 

This Fellow-led event comes following an unprecedented and historic summer of sport, marked by successes in the Euros, Olympics, and Paralympics. As we reflect on these achievements, we face an important question: how can the bidding, hosting, and legacy of major games inspire a new generation to improve mental health, physical activity, and well-being of young people and communities particularly those from areas of disadvantage and disaffection? 

Join Geoff Thompson MBE FRSA, Founder and Chair of The Youth Charter, an international charity and United Nations NGO, as he shares details of their Community Campus Youth and Community Model and Cultural Framework. Opportunities will also be shared to get involved in the "Legacy Opportunity4All National Call2Action," a significant initiative aimed at ensuring the lasting impact of sport. This innovative approach has the potential to deliver real and sustainable benefits in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, both locally and globally. 

Don’t miss the chance to be part of the conversation!
