The Sharing the Learning Series aims to provide an opportunity to share learning on different elements of whole systems physical activity working and ‘place-based’ approaches. There is a huge amount to share from the work of the Local Delivery Pilots. We also know that there are many other people and places working in this way that have a story to tell.
Building on events already delivered, we aim to deliver a series of face to face and virtual events over the next year to bring key regional (and national) partners together to share experiences on whole of systems physical activity approaches. A consortium of partners is working collaboratively from across Yorkshire and the Humber to achieve this.
The virtual events follow the Bradford workshop that brought regional partners together around the themes of locality and community approach and the role of parks and green space.

Past events
Bradford played host to the national event, bringing together partners from across the UK to share experiences and approaches to whole systems physical activity.
The event focused on three key areas transforming the approach to children's physical activity: JU:MP's latest research findings, strategies for creating active schools, and most importantly, amplifying children's voice and influence in physical activity initiatives. Workshops delivered on the day ranged from the broad approach places are using for evaluation and learning, how the built and natural environment influences children's ability to be active through to youth voice and how it can influence systems and be implemented at a local level.
The focus on place-based working highlighted how local partnerships can create environments where physical activity becomes naturally embedded in young people's daily lives. Bradford's role as host city underscored the district's commitment to improving physical activity in children and young people. The event's emphasis on children's voice and influence marked a significant shift towards ensuring that physical activity initiatives are shaped by the young people they aim to serve, rather than designed for them without their input.

This event brought partners from across Yorkshire and Humber together to share experiences on whole systems physical activity. Alongside sharing learning from whole system work for children and young people there was opportunity for attendees to share learning and for group discussion and networking.
Presentations and interactive discussions on:
• JU:MP's research findings
• Creating Active schools
• Children's voice and influence
The next in the series from the Sharing the Learning Partnership looked at Health in place. This included connecting partners to explore the role of sport and physical activity in health, understanding from a health system perspective and looked at joined-up ways of working.
Explore and understand the conditions needed for system change at our next session in March at Kings Church, Park Road Halifax HX1 2TS, 9am to 3.30pm
This session will focus on exploring and understanding the enabling conditions that support system change for physical activity and sport. This will be a highly participative session with opportunity to reflect and discuss how your role contributes to leading change in your place.
Brought to you by a consortium of partners working collaboratively from across Yorkshire and the Humber, the Sharing the Learning Series is providing a face-to-face opportunity to explore and understand conditions for system change
In addition to the above, time will be allocated to network with like minded individuals from across Yorkshire and the Humber.
This event explored how place-based working fits within a whole systems context, looking at the work of Active Withernsea and North Yorkshire Sport.
Brought to you by partners working together across Yorkshire and Humber, the Sharing the Learning series gives online and offline opportunities to share learning around physical activity.

This face-to-face event on Wednesday 14 June is the next in a series of events that will focus on sharing learning on different elements of whole systems physical activity working and ‘place-based’ approaches.
There is a huge amount to share from the work of the Local Delivery Pilots. We also know that there are many other people and places working in this way that have a story to tell.
The day will focus on exploring two themes. In the morning we’ll be considering the role of community development in whole system change for physical activity and in the afternoon what it means to bring about system change for physical activity working with the Health & Care system.

On Tuesday 29th November 2022, over 50 partners came together for JU:MP’s Sharing the Learning (StL) event at Lister Mills in Bradford to discuss all things whole systems physical activity, with a focus on greenspaces. This is the first in a series of StL events, each of which will have different themes and be led by different partners.
The event was led by JU:MP team members and attended by representatives from Bradford Metropolitan District Council, teams from Active Calderdale, Active Leeds, Get Doncaster Moving and more from across the Yorkshire region. Some of the Local Delivery Pilots (LDPs) gave presentations to share the learning around their processes, successes, challenges and how this has and will shape their future plans for 2023 and beyond.
In the workshops the delegates discussed the locality/neighbourhood approach to whole systems physical activity, focusing on the different solutions each area had devised and sharing this with their colleagues from the different projects. The JU:MP team took the group on a walking tour of the local area, to showcase and discuss their work in Kashmir Park, Scotchman Road and the schools in that area. Bradford Council’s Landscape Design and Conservation team developed the new play site, working closely with JU:MP, local families and local councillors to transform the unused area into an play area that can be enjoyed by the wider communities of Bradford district. Read more about the Kashmir Park development here.
One of the big successes of the event was the opportunity for teams to network and not only share learning, but also look for ways to collaborate, especially for those in neighbouring areas. A lot of the teams hadn’t met face to face since before the pandemic, and this event was a fantastic opportunity for people to connect and feel inspired and motivated.

Our YSF Connect and Share sessions are a place to share what you are doing and to hear from others about their work.
It’s a place for conversations to share ideas on policies, strategies and evidence, consider what is working, what might be getting in the way and connect different people, organisations and partnerships.
From local conversations and feedback from the Leading Our Active Places: Together for everyonevirtual event series we hosted in February 2021, we took a step back to consider the overall opportunity to connect people across themed areas of work. The first conversation was a focus on Active Workplaces on 1 July 2021, delivered virtually on Zoom with interactive sessions including breakout rooms to allow discussion and networking.
These, or similar, questions will provide a starting point for our conversations:
- What are you trying to achieve in your work?
- What is working well? And the reasons for this?
- What are the things that are getting in the way?
- What are your plans to grow the work? And, what is important for us in the future?
- Anything else?
If you would like to suggest themes for future conversations, please contact Emma Binnersley using emma.binnersley@yorkshiresport.org.
