Change the game 2024
For a decade, we have been a meeting place for everyone who wants to contribute to a society rich in movement. During this year’s annual event, we put full focus on how we create movement experiences that increase our tendency to value and choose physical activity. We wanted to turn our gaze inwards instead of towards the heart rate monitor – we have summed it up as movement that counts.
We did a conference, several special educations and activities with a focus on positive movement experiences that provide far-reaching benefits for both the individual and society.
Program
14-22 september: Movement paths
Several walking paths in Umeå were seasoned with experiences for the whole of you in the form of food for thought and movement challenges for all levels of ability.
18-19 september: Conference – Positive movement experiences for a sustainable society
As long as we consider movement experiences only as an investment in steps and load, we are not going all the way. When we focus on will and inner reason, we can count far more valuable gains. Both for citizens, schools and workplaces as well as for society as a whole. We know that our ability to create and value qualitative movement experiences is crucial to succeed in creating a context where people thrive, are safe, grow and can become their best selves.
During this year’s conference, we therefore put full focus on how we create movement experiences that increase our tendency to value and choose physical activity. We wanted to turn our gaze inwards instead of towards the heart rate monitor. In order to succeed now, different approaches are likely needed than those that have created today’s challenges. Therefore, we start from the holistic view of the human being and the perspectives on physical activity that physical literacy offers.
