Development program for early adopters

This is a project where leaders (all categories) who have embraced physical literacy got help to develop new activities or environments in their operations – a process with physical literacy as a compass.

Leaders, non-profit and professionals, from ten different organizations / activities in the region of Västerbotten participated in the program. They all share the vision of a society where everyone has the same right to be active and they are “early adopters” of physical literacy. They were given the opportunity, with the support of advisers and educators, to develop ideas that contribute to more people increasing their ability, motivation and opportunity to move. They also got the opportunity to exchange experiences with each other, the opportunity for in-depth knowledge of physical literacy and the opportunity to spread their new ideas and solutions. The program consisted of joint meetings, individual meetings with facilitators, own development-work and efforts to spread the new solutions.
