We view physical literacy (PL) as the disposition in all people to value and take responsibility for participation in physical activities for life. Our initial interest in PL was sparked by the idea of enabling physical activity participation and subsequent health related outcomes for all children and youth. Recently, however, we have started to realize that adopting PL as a social innovation engine for change has the potential to bring even more value than solely step-counts on an accelerometer. We increasingly believe that PL enriched physical activities could have the power to also maximize the output of physical activity participation, which makes the concept a significant contributor to personal development and human flourishing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This page provides an overview and brief collection of videos and reads about what PL is and why the concept is relevant and important. Our hope is that if you see this page through, you will get a better understanding of how knowledge about PL can equip leaders in all levels and contexts with a new mindset and the capacity to lead and design positive learning environments in which the possibilities for people to be healthy, flourish and reach their full potential is optimized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We believe that cooperation is an essential element for building PL enriched communities. In this keynote from the International Physical Literacy Conference 2019, you can hear Dr Dean Kriellaars map out some of the major challenges ahead of us and argues that the simultaneous and concurrent development of physical literacy enhancing people, places and programs is imperative for sustainable change.
