#Flashback...One week ago we had the privilege of hosting the #ChangeOurGame Girls in Sport Summit. It was an incredible opportunity to bring together 100 girls aged 13-15 to discuss a range of factors that influence #participation and #leadership. . What an impressive group they were...we were blown away by the groups maturity, resilience and drive to ensure a level playing field exists for #women and #girls in #sport and #recreation. . Facilitated by #Sixfold Consulting, we teamed up with a number of state sporting organisations to create a first of its kind deliberation. . Thanks to the crew at @jumpmedia for this great highlight package. @aflvictoria @basketball_vic @netballvictoria @footballfedvic @nrlvictoria @schoolsportvic @cricketvictoria @vichealth @erenjohn1
