PLAY – Physical Literacy For All Youth

The Challenge

Many young people with fewer opportunities avoid sport and physical activity because of low confidence, fear of judgement or negative experiences of competitive sport. Youth workers also lack practical, evidence-based methods to re-engage them.

The PLAY response

Equip youth workers with practical, evidence-based physical literacy tools to create inclusive, positive movement experiences that help disadvantaged young people build confidence, motivation and a sense of belonging.

What we will deliver

Cross-country evidence, a practical training methodology, four local pilots, a multilingual digital toolkit, a youth-led manifesto, national events and an European Physical Literacy Network.
The project will run from October 2026 until March 2028.
