Physical literacy may be understood as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and the responsibility for engagement in physical activities throughout an individual’s life.

Physical literacy can be described as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (IPLA, 2017)

Ο αγγλικός όρος “Physical Literacy” αποδίδεται στα ελληνικά ως κινητικός γραμματισμός για να μη συγχέεται με τον φυσικό/ πρώτο/ αναδυόμενο γραμματισμό στην πρώτη σχολική ηλικία. Άλλες φορές, όμως, αποδίδεται ως σωματικός γραμματισμός ή/και ως φυσικός γραμματισμός. Περισσότερες πληροφορίες για τον κινητικό γραμματισμό μπορείτε να βρείτε στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα της International Physical Literacy Association, στο βίντεο της IPLA: Active for Life και στο επισυναπτόμενο ενημερωτικό έντυπο.

Πρόκειται για ένα πρόγραμμα Erasmus + Key Actions 3 που συγχρηματοδοτείται από την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή (2019-2022). Αποσκοπεί στη δημιουργία, εφαρμογή και αξιολόγηση ενός Αναλυτικού Προγράμματος Σπουδών για την προώθηση της ψυχικής υγείας σε φορείς της εκπαιδευτικής κοινότητας κι επιχειρεί να συμβάλλει στο γεφύρωμα της έρευνας, με την εκπαιδευτική πρακτική και την εκπαιδευτική πολιτική.

Το PROMEHS είναι το πρώτο Αναλυτικό Πρόγραμμα Σπουδών για την Προαγωγή της Ψυχικής Υγείας στα σχολεία, που υλοποιείται με τη συνεργασία ερευνητών, φορέων εκπαιδευτικής πολιτικής και επιστημονικών συλλόγων, από 20 Πανεπιστήμια και Υπουργεία σε 7 Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες.

Guide to motor development in children

This Guide was written to help parents, teachers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists monitor children's motor development through the gradual acquisition of basic motor skills, and to plan activities to facilitate said development. In pursuit of this, we designed the Motor Development Chart, which includes all the motor skills the child should have mastered by primary school. It is our hope with this guide to raise awareness of how crucial it is for children to develop motor skills and for us to encourage them to be physically active from the early years of their lives, by creating an appropriate, physically active environment and offering a variety of activities on a daily basis.
