An analysis of national approaches to promoting physical activity and sports in children and adolescents
A resource for HEPA projects and promoters
Samenvatting
This report is a response to the need for more detailed information about the different national approaches to promotion of physical activity and sport in children and adolescents in countries of the WHO (World Health Organisation) European region.
We report the lessons, experiences and learning of six projects and how they may apply to future and existing initiatives in the form of 36 guidance points. The report is designed to realize the aims of the HEPA Children's workgroup and to be a useful resource for HEPA promoters and projects across Europe.
Following an audit of European approaches six projects were selected. They were drawn from culturally and geographically diverse regions and represent a wide range of approaches and settings.
- Beweegkriebels, The Netherlands
- Handshake with Sport, Sweden
- Kampagne Kinderturnen, Germany
- Move with Us, Spain
- The Sports Adventure around the Globe, Finland
- Youth and Sports, Switzerland
