<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>On 16 April, the Goodpush Alliance hosted a COVID-19 Sharing Webinar with more than 40 staff from 25+ social skateboarding projects to discuss and share on how everyone is coping with the coronavirus crisis globally. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>We had an awesome discussion and there were some great ideas for collaboration.</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span> Here’s some of the key takeaways:</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<ul>
	<li><span><span><span><span><span><span>The importance of our staff and volunteers looking after their own wellbeing before focusing on supporting their participants.</span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span><span><span><span>That many of our projects provide valuable social connection and roll models for kids that we serve, even when our usual skateboarding programs can’t happen.</span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span><span><span><span>While different contexts affect how we can adapt our programs (for example the level of internet access participants have) we also share many common challenges and solutions.</span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span><span><span><span>These unique circumstances have made many social skate project more open and available for collaboration, since – for the first time – this is just as easy to do across distances as it is within our own cities, and we will be able to adapt our programs more quickly if we work together.</span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
