🎯 The Sport Innovation Research Group at Swinburne University are hosting a free interactive workshop on Wednesday, the 23rd of October, as part of Sports Innovation Week, will dive into how technology can help combat discrimination and hate in community sports. 🎾 We will introduce a project that co-creates policy templates and develops a supportive Large Language Model (LLM) to streamline anti-discrimination efforts. This tool is designed to standardise responses, enhance decision-making, and alleviate the workload for volunteers—making it a game-changer for inclusivity in sport. We have seen a heard of an increase in incidents involving discrimination in sport - and often volunteers do not feel equipped on how to respond, what the relevant policies are, and relevant actions. 🏉Whether you're involved in policy at a high level or work at the grassroots, this is an opportunity to help shape solutions that could transform community sports and set new standards for inclusion. 🏓 I encourage anyone with an interest in this space to attend, contribute to the conversation, and be a part of this journey. Registration is free and more information 🤘TLDR: we are developing a research project which uses AI and a large language model to help volunteers respond to discrimination in sport. Come help us shape the project and learn how AI can be leveraged to help volunteers respond to discrimination in sport. ➡ Date: Wednesday, 23rd October ➡ Time: 1-3 PM ➡ Event link: Strengthening Volunteer Capacities Workshop

🐝 10 things I love about B Corp/s 🐝 5️⃣ The B Hive - this collaborative community for certified B Corps is wonderful. People ask questions, promote events, share ideas and generally support each other. 🍯 Did you know that bees do a waggle dance to show other bees how to find the best nectar? https://lnkd.in/euUmKweC 💚 The B Corp community is essentially a human waggle dance - sharing knowledge and helping others to continuously improve. B Corp businesses want more B Corps, after all the more businesses that operate using the B Corp principles there are the greater the positive impact. Who wouldn't want that?! #BCorp #BCorpMonth #BetterBusiness #SustainableBusiness #EthicalBusiness #BetterTogether #PositiveImpact Northants B Corp™ Community

Ten points if you know what these pens *actually* are.... These are vapes. They encourage schoolchildren to evade being caught by parents and teachers. We desperately need to get to grips with the risks of vaping and how so many young people in our region are taking it up, unaware of the dangers. Why is this relevant to our work at Yellow Jigsaw CIC? Well, we believe in the power of peer to peer communications. It is much more effective for 15-year-old Kenny to hear about the realities of vaping from his mate Chris than hearing it from a parent, a teacher or a local public health professional. That's why we'll be working with our young reporters at Media Cubs to explore how they can learn the facts and communicate them to their mates. We will be running free-to-attend Summer clubs and workshops across Manchester for young people to learn new media skills and to put them into action on important topics like this. Grown ups: drop me a line if you have any young people or professionals who want to get involved 💪

Why gather? ➡️ Feeling connected to others is not just a basic human need, it’s crucial for our physical and mental health — and the health of our communities. It seems there are fewer and fewer actual public places that enable us to get to know one another and build the relationships, trust, and collaborations that society needs to thrive, let alone function. It’s hard — but necessary. ➡️ There is so much that keeps us apart as Americans, and it can feel countercultural and intimidating to get to know people outside of our bubbles. A dangerous feedback loop can spin out of control when we distance ourselves from others... and then lose the muscle to be in community with people unlike ourselves. But we are all yearning to feel part of something, to feel less fear, to feel like we belong. We can't let this feedback loop happen. Try this. ➡️ Become a gathering engineer. Pay attention to the kids of connection your community is yearning for and sketch out what public, purposeful gathering places could exist. It could be a swap meet, a BBQ at the county fair, a program at your library, a Memorial Day potluck, a community garden workshop… gatherings can (and should!) fit with the culture of your place. What do you notice? ⬇️ Leave a comment below about the existing (or missing) civic gatherings in your community. Learn more about civic gatherings: https://lnkd.in/e2Qs6cff ——— This is part of a project by @citizenuniversity to #SparkCitizenship. With a new theme each month of 2024, you'll hear stories of people who are catalyzing a commitment to powerful, responsible citizenship in others. You'll find tools and prompts and resources to help you skill up. And you'll connect with others who are doing the same thing.

Our Community Possible program focuses on three areas – work, home and play – to make the most meaningful impact.
