The Alma Mater team organised a new MOVE4BRAIN workshop, this time involving adults. Although the MOVE4BRAIN programme is primarily designed for primary school children, we also wanted to explore how its motor-cognitive approach can be adapted to other populations and different functional needs.
For this workshop, we collaborated with the Slovenian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted. A total of 25 blind and partially sighted participants took part in a specially adapted motor-cognitive programme focused on learning safe falling techniques, improving body awareness, and experiencing less familiar movements and unstable surfaces in a controlled and supportive environment.
Their trainers also participated in the workshop and were introduced to the exercises and practical methods, enabling them to incorporate similar activities into their future work.
The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to test the flexibility of the MOVE4BRAIN approach and to explore how its principles can be transferred beyond the school setting to support different groups and needs.
