€100,000 for More Movement at Austria's Primary Schools
Published
At a fundraising dinner held by the initiative motion4kids, €100,000 was raised for primary schools across Austria. The money is intended to help children get more movement during the school day.
motion4kids helps primary schools build movement firmly into the daily routine. For this purpose, the schools receive digital resources that enable teachers to integrate short movement sessions into lessons. The aim is for movement to take place not only in physical education but also to become a natural part of other subjects.
Experts have been stressing for years that children in Austria get too little exercise. Many children spend a large part of the day sitting, for example at school or in front of screens. Programmes like this one are meant to support schools in reducing this trend.
The donations go directly to the participating primary schools. According to the announcement, the project is to continue in the future and reach as many schools as possible. Further information about the offerings is available on the motion4kids website.
