Golgen Goal Conference in Glasgow September 18th, 2008

In cooperation with a team of interested parties from the regeneration, sports and learning sectors, the University of Glasgow organised an extensive dissemination event which was held on the 18th of September 2008 at Petershill Park. To ensure as wide a representation as possible, about 200 invitations were distributed resulting in over 100 delegates attending the event.

These participants represented organisations from a variety of sectors including sports, health, local government, Jobcentre Plus, further and higher education, community planning, training, youth services and local regeneration. 

The dissemination event served to raise awareness of the possibilities for combining literacy provision with sports related contents and activities. In addition, it was envisaged that the event would act as a catalyst for organisations to start identifying future opportunities for aligning their activities with those being developed for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014. 

According to an evaluation survey which followed the conference, the majority of participants felt that it was a most inspirational event which provided an excellent opportunity to network. Most respondents also feel that they can incorporate the Golden Goal concept into their existing services.
