Aktive Summary Annual Report 2015/2016 25 HERA - Everyday Goddess HERA – Everyday Goddess (previous working title Us Girls) is a pilot project with an holistic approach, aimed at empowering girls aged 13-18 years to become active for life in formal and informal sport and recreation. The pilot is across nine Auckland locations: Papakura, Manurewa, Manukau, Otara, Mangere, Green Bay, Lynfield, Blockhouse Bay and Mount Roskill. Engagement by the girls is deemed critical to the pilot’s success, so focus groups from schools within the targeted areas, were recruited in 2015/16 to help develop the brand and design the programme. HERA is the Goddess of Olympians - a prominent and strong goddess in Greek mythology. The name captures the sense of empowering females to be more confident, in order to be active. The phrase “everyday goddess” relays a sense of positive self-worth, and reinforces that all girls – regardless of their shape, size, ability, fitness level or ethnicity – have the right to be active and deserve the benefits of being active. Aktive is currently working with a number of different delivery partners to engage with these girls, offering appropriate sport and recreation opportunities to enable them to be active. Aktive acknowledges the funding given by Sport NZ, NZCT and Auckland Council to this pilot project. Good Sports Good Sports is a culture change project designed to create positive sporting experiences for children aged 7-13, in order to encourage life-long participation. It is a pilot now extended to 2018, being trialled across eight Auckland locations primarily targeting parents and other key adult influencers in children’s sport – coaches, sport leaders, administrators and teachers. Good Sports aims to achieve culture change in three ways: • Training and supporting Good Sports Developers to educate, support and champion Good Sports as a means to sparking positive change within their local sport communities. Developers are change agents who use tailored workshops to engage coaches, parents and other adult influencers in conversation on the key issues that affect their children’s sporting experiences and how adults can best support the needs of children sport. • Developing and providing acces to resources, articles and key messages that are aligned to the Good Sports philosophy for parents, coaches, sport leaders, administrators and teachers in order to build better understanding and knowledge. • Developing public messaging to create an environment of acceptance and understanding of the Good Sports messages by the wider public, so that when a parent, coach, teacher or youth sport provider personally comes into contact with the Good Sports campaign (in whatever capacity), they are comfortable with the concept and need for change, or at least recognise it. Highlights include: • Three two-day Good Sports Developers Courses have been delivered, training a total of 49 Good Sports Developers • Six Good Sports Community Modules have been delivered to 191 parents, coaches, sport leaders and teachers • Three advertisements published in three local Auckland Fairfax papers, reaching an average combined readership of 202,000 people • 13 digital placements, placed on stuff.co.nz, delivering 1,020,072 impressions and 13,150 click-throughs to Good Sports articles • The establishment of the Good Sports Facebook page. www.facebook.com/goodsportsnz.
