We are pleased to invite you to the <a href="https://sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.uk/justturnup/home" title="https://sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.uk/justturnup/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Just Turn Up: informal sport and social participation in the superdiverse city</a> end of project event.This two year Economic and Social Research Council funded research project has examined how and in what ways informal sport activities in everyday city spaces generate forms of social interaction and urban belonging in super-diverse communities in London and Sheffield.Since October 2023 members of the project team have been spending time hanging out with informal sport participants ranging from urban walking and migrant women’s yoga groups to basketball and ecuavolley players. Alongside doing this we have talked to local, regional and national policy makers, think tanks, service providers, community groups and organisations working in sport, urban planning, migration support, health and wellbeing, community and social inclusion. The team have also worked with a London based poet (Grace Atkinson) and a Sheffield based poet (Dami Okhiria) to engage with participants and to creatively capture the project’s activities.The end of project event will be an opportunity for the project team (Sarah Neal, Clare Rishbeth, Rana Aytug, Andres Sierra Martinez, all University of Sheffield; Bonnie Pang, University of Bath and Keith Parry, Bournemouth University) to share the project’s findings; to hear from the two poets about their creative work with us on the project; to bring together a range of policy and community stakeholders (including members of our Project Advisory Group) for roundtable discussions and to engage in wider interactive dialogue and knowledge exchange.We very much hope you can join us on November 20, 2024 (tea/coffee from 11:15 am).Please RSVP via Eventbrite by 7th November, 2024For any further inquiries, please contact:Sarah Neal: s.neal@sheffield.ac.ukRana Aytug: r.aytug@sheffield.ac.uk
