Literacy is embedded in our understanding of education as developing the ability to read and write – so what does it mean to be “physically literate”? The Erasmus+ supported Physical Literacy for Life project is exploring this emerging concept, putting a spotlight on movement as a vital aspect of lifelong learning.
The International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) is coordinating the project, which sees physical literacy experts from two continents joining forces with grassroots sport organisations. Together, they are developing theoretical and practical resources to help teachers and coaches integrate physical literacy into their delivery of physical education, physical activity and sport programmes.
