DIYPES is a two-year European Erasmus+ project (2017-2018) that aims to promote physical activity in schools through a participatory approach to lessons, involving students and teachers in the co-design of activities. During the project, which involves 6 European countries – Albania, Italy, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, and Denmark as an internal evaluator – a pilot study was conducted to identify best practices to be disseminated at the European level.
The objectives of the project are:
– to identify and describe the educational objectives and practices of physical education and sports teaching in the national curricula of the countries involved;
– to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 3-month pilot study based on a participatory approach to physical education lessons in 3 different schools per country;
– to identify practices that can be extended at the European level to build innovative participatory approaches to physical education lessons.
