Hosted and delivered by Match Studio, the tournament saw interdisciplinary teams of students led by an academic work with a community organisation or government agency and representatives from an associated policy agency to identify issues related to the development and sustainability of inclusive and age-friendly communities.
The 12-week project outcome was played out at a final pitch event as part of the 2018 Adelaide Festival of Ideas in a fast-paced afternoon packed full of ideas about how local governments and communities can think differently about ageing. The winning team has been funded to travel to Copenhagen during the mid-term break in September 2018 to meet with participants of a sister challenge as well as visit other organisations and institutions related to their collective efforts.
Match Tournament is a collaboration between UniSA and Match Studio and co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, and UniSA.
