Presentation of a new pedagogical methodology aiming to tackle the inactivity problem among 11/13 years old children – The Belgian implementation

The University of Liege is involved in an Erasmus+ project focused on the development and implementation of an original pedagogic methodology aiming to tackle the inactivity problem among 11/13 years-old students. It combines theatre principles (open scenario) and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in order to increase the enjoyment of the youths during physical activity programmes. The model has been adapted to the Walloon context. The presentation illustrates the phases of the project and proposes a SWOT analysis conducted after the implementation of the 10 lessons programme in 8 classes of 5-6th grades (176 pupils). Good practices and practical recommandations are shared.
