DIALOGUE SOCIETY’s Post

I’ve always believed football isn’t just about elite competition, performance, and rankings. Sport is about so much more than that. It’s also about creating opportunities for sectors that might not otherwise engage with it. That's why I was thrilled to hear about The Street Child World Cup 2026. It's a global event where teams of young people who've experienced homelessness or street living come together to play football. The purpose of this event is threefold: → Raise awareness about the challenges faced by children living and working on the streets. → Provide a platform for these children to share their stories. → Call for change and demand that their rights be protected. Remember: Football holds potential beyond winning and losing. It can make a positive difference in the lives of children and communities worldwide, creating opportunities for those who suffer from health issues, disabilities, and inequalities. So, thank you, Street Child United, for organizing this global event.

Being part of a community, and gathering in person can save lives. Research suggests that social capital (the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively) leads to outcomes like higher trust, an increased sense of connection, better individual wellbeing, and as a result, longer life expectancy*. Festival for the Future (FFF) is a community characterised by pragmatic optimism. This is because it's an event built on intergenerational connection. Festival participants span all ages and backgrounds. They are hungry for a future that is as diverse as it is collective and as purposeful as it is impactful. And they're up for being put on the spot for a dance battle (shoutout to Ben from Create Now, pictured). Last year we worked with Guy Ryan, Katie Trott, and the wider Inspiring Stories team to help translate FFF's values into storytelling opportunities to help champions like Tory Whanau and Quack Pirihi grow the community. This year, we're attending as participants to recharge and find resources for the second half of 2024. After a year that started with conversations where we asked, "is this going to be a harder year than the one the economy shut down for two months so we could stop the spread?", we need to constantly find reframes. And this is the event to do it. Whether you're young or old, fill your cup at Festival. It's happening next Wednesday and Thursday (July 17tn and 18th) at the TSB Arena in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) and there are tickets still available. Hope to see you there. 😊 Tickets at ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gitxZtE *https://lnkd.in/gGJc_SME #FFTF24 #FestivalForTheFuture #ForwardThinking #Changemakers

[UseCase] ⚽️ Someone on X asked us for an example of how #myDID could be used in a Liverpool Football Club fan community.

As I was starting this new adventure, my husband asked me “What’s the connection between event planning and forming the mom community?” The answer was simple for me, the JOY of bringing people together!
