Welcome all Sport Makers to the workshop – acknowledge that they may not know why they are there… yet! Use this slide at the start of the workshop to ensure that there is branding on show. Open with the film to gain attention before you start on the slide pack. Remember to turn off lights and to have the sound loud – this is a good way to start as if you have IT issues no-one will notice as it is at the beginning of the workshop
Make this snappy – but please ensure key messages are said – please ensure that Sport Makers feel a part of this Olympic/Paralympic legacy. Imagine if all 40,000 go away and make sport happen for their friends the local opportunities that will be there to take part in
These are just some examples to start with. It may be worth asking them to chat with each other about why they are here and ...... any ideas they already have of being a Sport Maker – what might they want to do when they leave? Encourage them to mingle with all the other Sport Makers as they might be great support for each other when they leave this workshop. If they have ideas that are not on here – great – just be aware that this a programme for over 16s. Keep people focused on this without making it sound like a ‘target’ group. Use the words young adults, adults, mates, colleagues, friends etc. Not young people! You may have some leaflets from the CSPs that fit in to these categories – if so, use them throughout the workshop – ensure that they know that there are ideas being generated locally that they may fit into if they like. We have called this deployment. Also encourage them to consider opportunities that will be on the sportmakers.co.uk website – if they log some hours they may get the chance to win Olympic/Paralympic tickets. This workshop will help them form their thoughts on what they may do next.
Again – just some ideas – which one are they? This workshop will allow them time to think this through and hopefully they will leave with a firm idea and some actions to make sport happen in their local area
These are the sessions that they will be involved in at the workshop – the most important piece for them is that they know what they are going to do next when they leave, they know how to find opportunities and they remember to log their hours! This is the last slide in the introduction section
At a suitable stage at the event, please ensure that you show how to log hours and use the deployment opportunities on sportmakers.co.uk. At some events you can do this live if internet connection is available and good enough. Remind Sport Makers that they will be entered into a prize draw for Olympic/Paralympic tickets at the end of May if they have logged their 10 hours by then. The CSP may want to outline if they are in attendance and willing. This is the page that will appear once a Sport maker has logged into the website. There are several options on this page but there are only 2 that we need to focus on now. There are two buttons to click in the top right hand corner of this page: “ Tell us what’s happened so far”, by clicking on this button you will be taken to the page where you can log your hours and tell us what you’ve been doing to make sport happen. “ Find Opportunities”, by clicking on this button you will be taken to a page listing the opportunities available to you in your local area.
This is the page that you will be taken to once you have clicked on the “tell us what’s happened so far” button On this page you can enter the date and time of your session You can also enter the amount of hours that you have completed, and the type of sport that it was You can also give a brief description of the activities that you carried out. Once you have filled these details in you must click “add entry” to log the hours. If you have found your experience to be enjoyable or if you’d like to get more people involved with your Sport Making, you have the option to tell others about what you’ve been involved with by clicking ‘+ Add My Opportunity’ . Here you can fill out details of who you are carrying out your Sport Making with so that others can get involved!
You can also enter a sport maker pledge that you can look at to remind yourself of what it is you want to achieve through sport makers You can also access your sport maker journal which lists the hours you have completed so far. You can access the details of these separate sessions by clicking on “show details”.
This should be the final slide and all Sport Makers need to leave having made Sport Making pledge and understanding that they need to log their hours to be entered in to the tickets draw (10 hours is needed to be eligible for this)
