Description

We have during 2023, together with world leading researchers and thinkers within the field of “physical literacy”, explored how quality movement experiences relates to the Inner Development Goals (IDG). We have, among other things, conducted several workshops where the participants had to reflect on the differences between a traditional physical activity and an enriched version (which is deliberately designed to maintain and strengthen the participants’ relationship to movement and physical activity). Unsurprisingly, the enriched version was found to promote many more of the inner skills defined in the IDG framework.
IDG gives us a new and nuanced view of the value of meaningful and fun embodied experiences and clarifies the connection to sustainable development both for the individual and higher system levels. The challenge for a community is to have opportunities for all people, independent of age or ability, to have these positive movement experiences.

Learnings

With the help of IDG, “Movement opportunity providers” can:
* more easily understand and value how movement experiences can contribute to the development of inner skills
* develop their ability to design valuable movement experiences
* more easily understand how, by focusing on the quality of movement experiences, you can contribute to a sustainable development of the society.
