Project Aim: Our main project horizontal priority is supporting teachers. Specifically, we aim to support physical education (PE) teachers in elementary and secondary schools. Our main horizontal aim leads to several additional areas such as supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences and strengthening the profiles of the teaching professions. Our partnership is providing support for the acquisition and development of the key competency of teaching fundamental movement and sport skills in a way to maximise moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in PE class.

The main horizontal priority and associated secondary aims supports several European priorities. Those are (1) Health and Wellbeing; (2) Innovative curricula/educational methods/development of training courses; and (3) Strategic Partnerships supporting innovation. Background: For decades, physical inactivity has been at epidemic levels. The health and wellbeing of Europe let alone the world suffers in production and growth resulting in an enormous financial burden as the result of physical inactivity across an inactive person's lifetime. Children and youth are key to the future thriving communities, countries, and nations.
