The aims of the toolkit
Aligned to the objectives of the Positive Experiences Collective, the aims of the toolkit are:
Building knowledge and understanding
Increasing advocates for physical literacy informed progress
Collaboration around systemic and/or thematic challenges
Tracking examples of good practice and celebrating progress
The toolkit contains the following chapters designed to build momentum accordingly:
- Ignite - Why it matters?
Connect our networks with their own relationship with movement and physical activity to better understand what we mean by the term, considering what it means personally and professionally.
- United - What can we do differently, together?
Develop consistency of understanding which impacts consistency of policy and practice to ensure positive movement experiences for all.
- Excite - How to build momentum, create ripples
Empower and elevate examples of impact, creating more advocates.
The first phase of the toolkit will focus on 'Ignite'. The toolkit will continue to evolve as we seek ongoing insights, learning and feedback from the sector, with the aim to build a movement from engagement through to enactment and impact. This will translate into new content across the ignite, unite and excite chapters. If you have any feedback on the toolkit, you can share it with us by completing the following short survey.
You can download the toolkit here. You can download either the:
