Playing the Long Game
In a rapidly changing world, sport has been a constant. A cornerstone of socialization and culture. A pillar of health. A mirror of society, reflecting to us the challenges we face daily like sustainability, social justice, and more.
Sport changemakers continually offer innovative, systems-changing solutions so sport contributes to the good of all. Seeing an opportunity to fuel deeper learning, reflection, and action, the Sport for Changemaking team published Changemaking Takes a Team: How Sport Has the Power to Shift Mindsets.
It highlights:
· Four shifts transforming the sport ecosystem, rooted in the work of social entrepreneurs around the world.
· A path forward featuring five recommendations for all stakeholders in the sport ecosystem to realize their power to create positive change.
How might everyone in the sports ecosystem see themselves as powerful contributors to the good of all?
Sport Changemakers offer more than just theoretical solutions, rather they continue to identify and drive the patterns or methodologies for change around the world. The four shifts in this new paradigm of sport highlight the transformations we can together achieve:
