Leisure Rethink

Leisure Rethink?

Turning research into community tools, and engaging in community practice in creative ways excites me, which is what Leisure Rethink is all about. I really enjoy working closely with communities and public and non-profit organizations to help facilitate creative processes to support change within community recreation and leisure provisions. Specifically, rethinking and reimagining the way recreation and leisure provisions are designed, implemented and delivered. Leisure Rethink is an outlet for me to support community work more deeply through linking theory, research and practice, while providing research and training to recreation practitioners and agencies.

Leisure Quest

Picture

Leisure quest is a community-based leisure education delivery system. Leisure Quest is a unique delivery system that uses the principles of education to enhance one's leisure literacy. Delivered by practitioners in the community, Leisure Quest utilizes existing experiential (play) and reflective activities to help individuals and families create their own leisure experiences at home and in their communities. The tool kit, training and delivery system can be customized to the needs of the organization or community.
