ACTIVASIAN<br />
The ActivAsian initiative has three key objectives:<br />
- Improving sporting opportunities for Asian people, with a particular focus on school-aged children<br />
- Improving access to information about sport and recreational opportunities for the Asian<br />
community<br />
- Encouraging more Asian people to participate in sport.<br />
The following four strategic pillars serve to provide guidance on how we will achieve the above<br />
outcomes, and build a robust programme, supporting the development of sport, recreational and<br />
physical activity in the Asian communities:<br />
1. Relationship Building<br />
2. Participation<br />
3. Education and Resources<br />
4. Capability Building<br />
In the past year, ActivAsian has been established and implemented across the Greater Auckland<br />
region, with three full-time staff now employed by Sport Waitakere and Sport Auckland. We have also<br />
experienced significant growth in our local ActivAsian initiative, with three full-time and three<br />
part-time staff now a part of the team.<br />
ACTIVASIAN VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME<br />
The ActivAsian Volunteering Programme is an<br />
initiative that many students have benefited and<br />
are benefiting from. This year?s expansion to<br />
Sport Auckland and Sport Waitakere meant more<br />
young Asian New Zealanders in other regions<br />
can be exposed to opportunities to be involved<br />
in the sport and recreation community through<br />
volunteering, developing social skills and<br />
employability, being an active participant in<br />
community events and many more.<br />
The calendar year of <strong>2018</strong> has been statistically<br />
proven to be the most successful year of the<br />
ActivAsian Volunteering Programme since its<br />
establishment. Below are some of the notable<br />
achievements and statistics thus far:<br />
- 255 more ActivAsian volunteer registrations in<br />
<strong>2018</strong> (180 registrations in <strong>2017</strong>)<br />
- 61.3% of all ActivAsian Volunteers are<br />
between 16 to 22 years old<br />
- Almost 100% of the total volunteers have<br />
indicated an Asian nation as their country of<br />
origin<br />
- Over 25 volunteering opportunities were<br />
promoted in <strong>2018</strong><br />
New marketing engagement tools are being<br />
adopted by the Regional Sports Trusts to<br />
promote and achieve the programme?s<br />
intermediate and final outcomes, while<br />
long-established methods are being evaluated<br />
and revamped. For example:<br />
- ActivAsian WeChat groups<br />
- ActivAsian Facebook groups and pages, e.g.<br />
event pages and Facebook advert<br />
- ActivAsian Volunteer MailChimp subscription<br />
lists<br />
- Organisations websites and social media<br />
accounts<br />
