Together, we will map the unexpected places where there are smart opportunities to weave drowning prevention into local government business-as-usual. This will be a highly interactive workshop with a focus on small-group work, dynamic discussions, rapid ideation, and short, sharp mini-pitches.
The objective of the session is to identify opportunities to advance water safety in local government policy today. How can we position drowning prevention for the biggest impact? Where can we add water safety to existing initiatives? Who do we partner with to reach those most in need? What do we need to reframe to reinforce the benefits of water safety?
