According to the  carried out in 2022, students wished for teaching practices that would increase physical activity and help take breaks from sitting. In spring 2023, the current state of encouraging movement in universities was assessed by means of a survey offered by the Studies on the Move programme. The results showed that teaching methods that activate students are still rarely used in teaching. Cutting down long sedentary periods has positive effects on health and learning, so integrating movement as part of teaching is useful.

Watch these three short videos for tips on how to easily integrate and add motion as part of a lesson. 

The tips support the teaching staff in creating more active learning environments and supporting the health and learning of students in the university community. Also download a set of break and activation stickers to be used in your teachingmaterial.
