A mini-series of Community of Practices to support Active Workplaces will continue in July following a successful launch earlier this year.

The first session, taking place on Thursday 11 July, will look at Language, Messaging and Framing, before further sessions on 15 October and 22 January.

The Community of Practice in October will focus on Measuring Impact and Learning with Influencing Stakeholders, Senior Leaders and Culture the topic for January.

Partners who feel able to present and/or contribute any of the three sessions can email GM Moving’s Active Adults Lead, Julia Skelly.

Following feedback from attendees at the first Community of Practice, and those at the workshop at this year’s GM Moving Conference, an Active Workplaces Padlet is here.

There are separate pages for each of the 3 themes highlighted above which can be utilised to share useful resources, case studies, reading, articles, websites etc.

Feel free to share the Community of Practice mini-series on Active Workplaces on social media using the hashtags: #ActiveWorkplaces and #ActiveSoles.

  • Thursday 11 July, 10:00 – 11:30 – Language, Messaging and Framing.
  • Tuesday 15 October, 13:00 – 14:30 – Measuring Impact and Learning.
