Each culture and society develops its own physical practices which accompany the daily life and rituals of their members, comprise their history, dictate their understanding of the world and of “being” itself, define their identity and actively contribute to their education. Such physical practices may be observed in folk festivals, traditional celebrations and festivals. Other physical practices are dances, events, games, various forms of sports and exercise, body decoration, carnivals, outdoor activities just to name a few.

The Laboratory of Pedagogical Research and Lifelong Education at the Department of Educational Sciences and Early Childhood Education of the University of Patras was founded in 1996. Titled the Laboratory of Pedagogical Research and Applications at its founding, it was one of the earliest such Laboratories in Greece. Two decades later, the Laboratory was renamed to better reflect the research interests of its members and its ongoing research and development activities. This change was effected by GG 900B/4-4-2016, which gave the Laboratory its current name.
