How Sport Can Ignite Change Alongside Schools & Communities

Can sport empower communities? Change systems? Provide young people with skills needed to enhance their educational and life outcomes? YES! Learn about Sport for Good Cities, an approach to collective action from the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. A recent independent evaluation examining 10-years of impact data found that this model is working, and recognition has come from the World Health Organization and UNESCO. Hear from those involved about how sport can be a lever to create change in your community and how schools and higher ed institutions play a crucial role.
