ROADSHOWS: KEYSBOROUGH & WERRIBEE

Vicsport is inviting professionals and volunteers from sport, leisure, recreation and health sectors to attend one of two workshops in outer Melbourne this November.

In partnership with VicHealth and La Trobe University's Centre for Sport and Social Impact, Vicsport is coordinating these two forums to unpack Doing Sport Differently - six key principles that guide the design and delivery of sport-based programs that target less-active people trough social and flexible sport.

The forums will build upon VicHealth's recent Doing Sport Differently launch and insights forum at MSAC.

In attending the forums, you will have the chance to:
  • Hear first-hand from managers and deliverers of social sport programs led by state sport associations and regional sport assemblies.
  • Discuss ways to apply these insights to current or new programs in your organisation.
  • Network and collaborate with sport and health organisations working towards the common goal of increasing participation in physical activity.
These practical, engaging workshops have been specifically designed for professionals and volunteers from state sport associations, regional sport assemblies, sport clubs, leagues and associations, local government and health promotion officers.
