This chapter introduces the partnership story, offering guidance to various local and global community stakeholders in understanding contemporary directions and future priorities for Health, Wellbeing, and Physical Education (HW & PE). According to the United Nations (UN), ‘partnerships’ are essential for implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and subsequently, continued efforts towards equality in health and wellbeing. Hence, the partnership journey is significant as it offers insight to the future of HW & PE. This story is timely as ground level ‘partnerships in action’ forms a present gap in research.
Description
This book uses the example of a partnership journey between universities, schools, the local health industry as well as a number of government organisations which worked to ensure the growth of physical education in primary education. The initiative employed the United Nations (UN) ideals as a model and contextualised them within local schools and communities. What began as a pathway seed quickly grew to involve multi-stakeholder partnerships and therefore explores how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) may be implemented at a grass roots level.
