Partners and participants
This event is open to all former or current beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ Programme and representatives from all education sectors. We await adult educators, high school, VET and general school teachers of various subjects, who are interested in teaching and learning methods, called “learning while moving”. This TCA is not about sports, but about the importance of physical activity in the learning process, educational institutions and personal life. It is an opportunity to explore the added value of physical activity in education and how mobility could be integrated in Erasmus+ projects and educational activities.
