MOVE4BRAIN in Sečovlje: Bringing Thinking into Movement
The MOVE4BRAIN project has completed its second national workshop in Slovenia, organised in collaboration with Sečovlje Elementary School in the Municipality of Piran. The workshop involved pupils enrolled in a school programme that provides support and learning adaptations for children with learning difficulties.
During the workshop, we demonstrated a practical approach to integrating cognitive challenges into different motor activities. The focus was on encouraging children to think while they move, combining physical activity with tasks that engage their cognitive skills.
This approach aims to support motor and cognitive development together, offering opportunities to practise skills such as coordination, attention and memory through movement. Activities and their level of difficulty can be adapted to each child’s abilities, encouraging participation and providing an appropriate challenge.
We thank Sečovlje Elementary School for its collaboration and all participating pupils for joining us in exploring new ways to move and learn!
