Welcome to My Moving Brain: Community Connect Event in Dublin! Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 1:30 PM at Blackrock College for a day of fun, learning, and connection.
The event is all about bringing the community together to share their expertise, ideas and lived experiences around brain health and explore ways to remove barriers that may limit the opportunities for people living with brain conditions to participate in sport.
Whether you are an individual or family living with a brain condition, sports coach or leader, member of a sports club, teacher, patient organisation representative, researcher or simply interested in hearing more about brain health and wellness, there's something here for everyone.
Come along to hear from a range of inspirational speakers about how brain conditions can impact participation in sport, how people with lived experience manage their condition while performing on the international stage and share practical tips to promote and encourage the participation of people with brain conditions in sport. There will also be plenty of opportunities to engage the expert panel, ask questions and stimulate discussions around brain health and sport inclusion.
A parallel session will provide an opportunity to find out more about our FutureNeuro brain research through fun, interactive science engagement activites that will include extracting DNA from bananas and exploring brain waves. There will also be a range of 'come and try' taster sports sessions on offer for all ages and abilities provided by local sports clubs.
There is an option to leave your child/children with our sports volunteers while you join the speaker session and panel discussion if this will help you access the event. All children will need to be registered and additional information provided.
Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to connect with your community and be part of a conversation that will make a difference for people and families living with brain conditions across Ireland. We look forward to seeing you there!
