This new resource, 'Putting It into Practice' brings to life some of the approaches, models, and tools shared as part of our publication 'People and Places -The story of doing it differently' -the journey of local delivery pilots, tackling inactivity through implementing place-based, system change.
What is in this resource?
We appreciate that all places are unique, and this resource is designed to share approaches, models and tools that can be explored and adapted to meet local need. In this resource you will find approaches, models and tools that have been used by places to:
• Identify relationships, map progress and identify gaps
• Embed sport and physical activity in the system and identify change
• Develop community insight and understanding
You will be guided through each tool explaining why, how and with whom you might use it. You will also find examples of how the tool has been put into practice, what partners have been involved in the process, the impact it has created and what people have learnt along the way.
How can I find what I'm looking for?
The sections of this resource are organised by what we have found to be some of the practicalities of system change i.e. understanding the system you're trying to shape, developing shared purpose, distributing leadership etc. One of the best ways to navigate this resource is to start with the questions that you find yourself asking about the work, for example:
• How can I grow common purpose and understand progress with partners that we are engaging?
• How can I help to grow sustainable community-driven development?
• How can I better understand the relationships that connect communities and how these evolve and change over time?
Take a look at the full list of questions below, find those that you have been asking yourself and dive into that section to take a look at some of the approaches, tools and models places have been testing and developing.
