<h3><em><strong>We are delighted to announce Skateistan's new E-Learning Platform, the first online learning platform dedicated to social skateboarding projects!</strong></em></h3>

<p><strong>So What's It All About?</strong></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#263238"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">We are often asked by social skateboarding projects for training courses and other ways for teams of staff and volunteers to build their knowledge and improve their practices. So we decided to put together the first ever online learning platform specifically for the needs and best practices of social skateboarding projects. We have designed several Goodpush courses for all levels – so whether you’re at the beginning stages of setting up your organization, or you’ve been operating for years, we hope you’ll find something for you.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="line-height:1.68; margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">The intention of our E-Learning Platform is to centralize the main topics which social skateboarding projects worldwide have stated they would like extra knowledge or training in. We believe that these courses will enable skateboarding initiatives to strengthen their knowledge base; in order to provide safer, more inclusive programs which prioritize staff and participant wellbeing. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
