The GDCSPA:
A Sport Innovation Community of Practice

As a GDCSPA impact innovation partner, we designed and host the GDCSPA Finalists Innovation Impact Monitoring Tool v1.0 on Trello and will capture best practices within existing open innovation tech stacks, as we prototype new and applicable Open Innovation—Community Impact Frameworks within the context of this unique sport cohort. We hope to better inform the GDCSPA challenge in years to come through our findings through this unprecedented time of rapid change due to the Covid19 pandemic.

In keeping with TACTHUB's Open Innovation Ethos, GDCSPA Finalists Innovation Impact Monitoring Tool v1.0 will remain accessible to ALL participating teams, mentors, incubators and partners. For more information, please email sascha@tacthub.com.

As an independent think-do tank, we have been requested to ensure that the information and communication frameworks within the GDCSPA Finalists Innovation Impact Monitoring Tool v1.0 will in fact boost equal opportunity for all incubated project teams, as well as enhance the intended learning and progression of this global design challenge at large.

In addition to online support, TACTHUB welcomes the GDCSPA mentorship cohort as #DreamweaverChiefs who contritube a minimum of 10 hours of probono expert coaching.

As UNESCO is committed to align its programs and activities with the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals,

MINEPS VI will provide a platform to discuss physical education, physical activity and sport in light of their contribution to achieving the SDGs.

Special attention will be devoted to global and national policies, to advocacy, research, and capacity building since MINEPS V and beyond MINEPS VI.

The following SDGs are particularly relevant:

SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages;
SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all;
SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls;

PlayDate

Building a culture of movement everyday. Our solution has 3 aims: 1. To stimulate organized physical activity during pandemic-like times, 2. Increase the amount of physical activity AFTER restrictions are lifted by removing the obstacle of physical distance as much as possible, 3. To empower students in the process so they feel considered in the design of their program, leading to a personalized set of activities, more satisfaction and interest in doing more physical activities out of educational context.

We're proud of reaching a concept that answers to students aspirations for empowement and personalization. Physicial activities are often a pain for students due to excessive intensity or lack of interest in proposed activities that has no relationship with their preferences and biorythm.

FreeBay
Addressing Affordability and Access to Sport and Recreation.

FreeBay is a web application that helps families identify available subsidies and programs, source donated equipment, locate green spaces, and keep current on the most up to date return-to-sport requirements.

Our project was most inspired by recent findings that point to the devastating effect that Covid-19 has had economically, particularly on families in need. Knowing that Covid-19 is likely to widen the gap in terms of income inequality, our project addresses the concern that the current crisis will perpetuate existing systemic inequalities and further limit sport participation opportunities for marginalized populations.

The FreeBay web application will achieve this by facilitating the delivery of information on fee subsidy programs and how to access them.
