Running from 18–26 October, Children’s Week is a time to celebrate children and promote their rights as outlined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Sport Experience Design: The Immersion Workshop |
|
Reframing Participation Through the Eyes of Players, Parents, and Volunteers
Following his sold-out presentation at the 2025 WA Sport Industry Conference, SportWest is proud to offer a unique professional development opportunity with Andrew O'Loughlin commencing on Thursday 30 October before he returns to the east coast.
This two-part series begins with a half-day workshop designed to take sport administrators out of the office and into the game— exploring the moments that can make or break the sport experience from the view of the participant.
You will leave with a refreshed perspective, strategies, and a toolkit to support the implementation of actions that you can apply to your role working at a State Sporting Association. This will be supported by an online check point discussion (Part 2) four weeks later.
Part 1: Thursday 30 October | 10.15am-1.30pm | Sport HQ Precinct
Part 2: Thursday 27 November | 2.00pm-3.00pm | Teams (online)
Places are limited to a maximum two participants per State Sporting Association and will sell out. Please ensure that you can attend both sessions before registering. |
