Upcoming Event: SSP Healthy Choices
Tell us what you want to know – Nudge resources 13 September, 2016
This upcoming session will allow you to be involved in the shaping of new Healthy Choices program resources, as well as future resource development. Your valuable feedback will inform the direction of the new nudge resources, which in turn will assist you when explaining the process to canteen staff.
At this session you will also hear from Touch Football Victoria and Baseball Victoria on how they implemented their nudges and formed important relationships with canteen managers and staff. This will provide a valuable opportunity for you to learn from two sports implementing nudges in their clubs and associations.
At the end of this event you will understand the Strategies for Healthy Choices Resource, the importance of forming relationships with canteen managers and staff and how to implement and discuss specific nudges in step by step detail (Display, Price, Provision and Promotion).
Coming Soon:
Along with the above session, the Vicsport team are looking forward to supporting you all in the development of your projects in Year two of the SSP & RSP.We have listened to your feedback and have some great topics to explore with you to support your work. We are very excited about what the year holds and seeing the progress of your projects.
And remember to share your progress using the hashtags #EatDrinkActive & #HealthyActiveChoices. These hashtags will allow you to follow the successes of projects and connect with each other.
