Street Games Conference 2021
The Power Of Place
Delivered by Why Sports
For 2021 we bring you the StreetGames Conference online!
Like you, we have learnt a lot about connecting digitally this past year and we are excited to be able to use this to bring more people together than ever before. This year's event puts young people front and centre, as we engage more young coaches and volunteers directly in delivering our conference than ever before.
This year’s conference is divided into 6 themes to help you connect with all the elements of StreetGames’ work. The themes are:
Sport, poverty and the pandemic
Brighter Futures – avoiding a lost generation
Why does poverty result in poor health?
Fit & Fed – addressing the holiday gap
Community Safety-Sport, my journey, my choice
Securing the future (targeted at locally trusted organisations to think about practical ways of building sustainability)
We look forward to seeing and hearing you at our conference – we hope to have as many voices as possible sharing learning and building networks.
All Workshop presentations will be hosted via the Zoom platform allowing maximum interaction and engagement.
