Celebrating women, their period and the positive impact on sporting performances. Active Inclusion, Taboo Period Products and the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (ORSR) have teamed up to create the I’m an Athlete. Period. initiative. This new initiative promotes positive menstrual health in sport and recreation, aiming to break down the barriers that impact female participation in physical activity. See the panel discussion that was held on the night below.
The panel discussion features Eloise Hall (Co-founder, Taboo), Michelle Wilson (Australian Karate Champion), Izzi Batt-Doyle (2020 Olympic Runner), Annette Edmondson (3x Olympian, Olympic Medallist and World Champion Cyclist) and Amber Halliday (3x Olympic Rower).
The Partnerships Program supports projects that align with opportunities within the South Australian Government's Game On: Getting South Australia moving initiative, to ensure physical activity and play can fit seamlessly into the daily lives of South Australians.
The Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing hosted workshops led by engagement specialists URPS, to provide inspiration and guidance on potential partnerships and initiatives that could be considered for future funding. The interactive workshops examined the concept of innovation and went into what creates a great partnership and how to find the right partners for your initiative.
The last couple of years have changed the game for the sport and recreation sector. Increased lifestyle pressures, evolving social norms and the rise of technology have had a significant impact on how sport and recreation organisations operate and how members can thrive in a club environment.
To prepare sports and recreation clubs for what's ahead, the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing hosted a Club Development Conference, which included a line-up of industry experts to provide the latest insights on innovation, marketing and governance applicable to sport and recreation.
