Change the game 2021
Welcome to the eighth edition of our annual event, which continues to focus on physical literacy. Our aim is to offer a lot of insights and inspiration. We also hope to be able to add program items in the form of physical gatherings such as active workshops and various activities in Umeå.
A sustainable world with physical literacy – from practice to vision
We have brought together innovators, world-leading experts and passionate leaders who have extensive and valuable experiences of physical literacy.
