Active University - In Motion
The contents of the Active and Thriving Higher Education model will be integrated into the organizational culture of all participating higher education communities, and the promotion of physical activity among students will be considered at various levels of activity.
Physical activity and movement among students will be encouraged through tutoring and peer-led activities, promoting active student commuting, and developing learning environments. The promotion of active teaching will be supported by developing staff expertise and influencing pedagogical principles. The connection of students to the academic community and the overall sense of community within the institution will be strengthened. Leadership understanding and support will be ensured to establish the Moving Study activities as a permanent practice.
