SCHOOL TO MOVE - ITS COOL TO MOVE

School to Move, it's cool to move.Over 95 percent of young people are enrolled in schools in Europe and without a strong contribution of schools, we are not likely to reverse the obesity epidemic provoked by sedentary life style and the lack of practice of physical activity and sports in school environment. The “School to move, it’s cool to move” project has created and laid the foundation for the first digital European network of organizations from civil society that work in line with the NGO Deporte para la Educación y la Salud (DES) coordinator of the project, and whose primary objectives are the fight against sedentary lifestyles, childhood obesity and the increase of serious diseases in school-age children.During all 2018, 5 organizations from Spain (DES) , Bulgaria (BG Be Active), Greece (Greenways SCE) , Romania (Association Sport for All Suceava) and Slovenia (Sports Union of Slovenia) have been working collectively to identify, select, present and exchange some of the best initiatives and successful projects carried out by each one in their local, regional or national environment. These 5 organisations have created the School to Move Network which is now open for new candidates. At the end of the year, partners presented the results of the Project to the educational and sport community during the “International conference and Workshop -School to move” celebrated in Madrid the 05th of December: The guide proposes 12 local regional or national Good practices and initiatives and which focuse on promoting physical activity, sport and healthy habits in the school environment presented. It is presented in the form of a specific and innovative tool carried out jointly by university researchers and the experts of the partners and will be accessible and open to all European schools.
