April 12thThe Tuesday programme is relevant for researchers, educators and policymakers and will focus on the development of the field of physically active learning. We will start off Tuesday morning with an optional social programme, where we will visit local elementary schools to have a first hand look at PAL in the Dutch setting. The afternoon session provides a foundation for the role that PAL has played in international research and takes a closer look at the field's future. Where did we start, what are we doing now and where are we going? Following a recap on the history of PAL and insights from PAL research and teacher educator pioneers, we will co-produce a strategic plan for the next five-to-ten years on how PAL can develop for the future. All sessions will be conducted in English.

April 13th: MorningThe Wednesday morning programme is relevant for researchers, educators and policymakers and will provide you with the newest insights into the development of physically active learning programmes. Within the ACTivate project, six European countries have worked together to create an evidence-based curriculum for physically active learning with an accompanying e-learning module. The e-learning modules were developed to help teachers integrate physically active learning into their lessons. Furthermore, research has been conducted in all six countries to identify the support the teachers require to develop their capabilities, opportunities and motivation to use PAL in their everyday teaching practice. All sessions will be conducted in English.

April 13th: AfternoonAn afternoon full of inspirational sessions and insight into the approach to physically active learning in different countries. During each session, participants will learn about the policies or laws in place that promote or hinder physically active learning and how institutions come up with ideas to stimulate physically active learning and the challenges they face. The afternoon will close with a discussion between professionals of various backgrounds (teachers, teacher educators, policy makers, researchers).
