<p>We were also excited to announce during the event that this year we’ve launched the Goodpush Alliance — our first step in supporting and sharing knowledge among social skate projects worldwide. Currently in a research and development stage, Goodpush has selected three organizations as pilot partners to take part in six months of tailored consulting and receive a $5,000 award: SkateQilya (Palestine), 7Hills (Jordan), and Make Life Skate Life (global). In late 2018, we’ll release a package of online resources for running programs, community engagement, and behind the scenes management. This will be free of charge for any organisation which is trying to make a positive difference through skateboarding.</p>

<p>We’ve also collaborated with Pushing Boarders to launch the first<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/socialskate" target="_blank">&nbsp;<em>Survey of Social Skateboarding Projects Worldwide</em></a>, so that we can gather a comprehensive overview on the impact, aims, and activities of this growing global movement.</p>
