Usually staged on the last Monday of each month, the Sport for Development Coalition hosts a live ‘Twitter takeover’ using its account @SFDCoalition.

The takeover lasts one hour, usually between 8-9pm, and focuses on that particular month’s theme.

During the hour, the Coalition is usually joined by a special guest from a leading or ground-breaking organisation involved in the Sport for Development sector.

The Coalition poses five pre-set questions on the @SFDCoalition Twitter page based on the monthly theme, and the guest tweets their answers.

Followers are then invited to join the debate, either providing their own answers to the set questions or adding their own queries directly to the special guest. The Coalition will share the best responses.

Things to remember:

     - When tweeting your answer, remember to include a reference to which question you are answering, ie for ‘Q2’ use the prefix ‘A2’, and Q3-A3, Q5-A5 etc.

     - Use the hashtag #SportforDevelopmentCoalition in all of your answers so we can see and share them.

     - Use specific examples, images and videos in your tweets where possible.

     - Questions for the takeover are usually shared by the Coalition's Twitter account @SFDCoalition a week in advance of the takeover, giving you time to consider your responses on the evening.

     - Please tell us in advance via Twitter if you intend to get involved, and let others know about the takeover by sharing the questions.

     - We welcome ideas for future monthly themes and nominations for guest organisations. Contact hello@connectsport.co.uk.
