Be@Connected to Host World Swimming Champion

Beacon Foundation has today launched the full speaker schedule for their online learning series, Be@Connected.  With speakers such as Australian Swimming World Champion Ariarne Titmus, it is no wonder that the series is proving to be a huge success with students across Australia.

Beacon Foundation CEO Scott Harris said, “The calibre of speakers that we have wanting to support Australian students through this period is exceptional.”

Mr Harris added, “Ariarne Titmus is a World Champion who is generously giving her time and insights to assist students across Australia, when she herself is having to regroup following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics.  This commitment to young people is outstanding, we are thrilled to have Ariarne on board.”

“There is no doubt that the Great Shutdown will have significant impacts on our young people, and we are starting to see that already.  Beacon Foundation are committed to making sure we continue to be there for young people all over Australia.”

Be@Connected is into its third week of a six week series, with topics already addressed including teamwork, communication, creativity, personal brand and attitude.

Ariarne’s session is scheduled for June 3, the final week of the series.  During the session Ariarne will address looking after yourself and the importance of wellbeing.

Ariarne commented, “Be@Connected is an exciting and relevant initiative to be involved with.  We are all having to adapt and adjust to new ways of doing things during this period and I am looking forward to sharing my experiences and tips to students around Australia.”

She added, “It is more important than ever that we pay close attention to our young people at this time as they journey through the uncertainty that we all face.”

“I hope my story and experiences can help inspire students to stay motivated during this time.”

Be@Connected continues to gain momentum, with two new episodes being posted to the Beacon Foundation’s You Tube channel weekly.

Be@Connected will run alongside Beacon’s preexisting suite of online programs Industry Live and My Road. Find the full term two schedule here.
