11. Introduction

12. WHY
• Physical inactivity is a leading contributor to global mortality1.
• WHO statistics show that one in four adults2, and four out of five
adolescents3, do not meet WHO recommendations to be physically
active for one hour per day.
• It is estimated that up to 5 million deaths per year could be averted if
the global population was more active4,5.
• Children and young people from vulnerable communities in
particular are insufficiently physically active, leading to poor health,
well-being and self-esteem, and lower academic outcomes.

OPPORTUNITY
Increasing physical activity is proven to
contribute to the prevention and
treatment of several NCDs.
If children and young people have
early positive experiences with physical
activity, they are more likely to develop
preferences and motivation that will stay
with them for life (physical literacy6).

13. • Rooted in Danish and Nordic traditions, Move For Fun is based on the joy of movement, a sense of community and equal
participation.
• It is a physical activity programme delivering weekly fun activity sessions for children from vulnerable communities.
• The programme will be piloted in 2-3 countries and will be rolled out by ISCA member organisations with relevant local
partner groups.
• The vision of Move For Fun is that all children should have access to experiencing the joy of movement as a
foundation for leading active, happy and healthy lives.
• The programme’s objective is to help children from vulnerable communities become physically active and, through
this, more self-confident, healthy and happy.
