Project Summary

Based on several research findings, the project is based on a shared concern about the mobility of children and adolescents and its impact on learning outcomes. The aim is to increase common awareness of the use of functional methods in teaching and education and thereby increase physical activity in children and adolescents.

Many research findings support international findings where exercise has been found to promote knowledge-based activity, especially activity management, which plays an essential role in decision-making, problem-solving and new learning.
Versatile movement supports neuromotor development and learning of motor skills, and possibly cognitive function, as motor and cognitive skills develop in parallel and are controlled by the same central nervous system mechanisms.
Exercise also provides social situations and opportunities for interaction that support the emergence of peer relationships. Such peer relationships promote pupil coping, school enrollment, and school success. In addition, exercise has been found to increase self-esteem, increase school enjoyment, attendance at lessons and work peace. These are other possible explanations for why mobility is good for school success and learning.

Our project covers the age range from early childhood education to vocational training. The aim of the project is to collect and develop materials and to share good practice on learning through exercise.This will increase the professional skills of staff and students and thus improve the quality of early childhood education, basic education and vocational training. New teaching methods are being developed and old ones are being updated to reflect current researches.

Seven organizations across Europe are involved in the project. Each has their own area of ​​expertise; early childhood education, education for children and adolescents, vocational training, university education, and rehabilitation and therapy methods.
