HopaSus sports workshops in Lithuania

In February 2024, a real sports festival was held at the Mokolai basic school in Marijampolė! 60 schoolchildren took part in sports activities that strengthened not only their physical but also their emotional state. The children tried various sports activities, as well as sports exercises recommended by Hopasus and sports mobile applications-games. For some of the students, this was not the first acquaintance with the Hopasus project, because Marijampolė school has been involved in the implementation of this project before, when a study of physical activity, healthy behavior and posture of children aged 11-15 was carried out. We can be happy that the children are really excited about the opportunity to play sports and do sports in an interesting way and it has some positive results – the Mokolai school team won the sports competition in their region.

HopaSus Erasmus Sport Plus project was born out of the need of teachers and youth workers from 4 European countries to develop their digital skills and become more resilient in times of pandemics by using sport video games in their virtual or face-to-face classrooms. The aim of the project is to encourage sport teachers to recognize the potential of video games and sport applications and experiment with new strategies for incorporating them into their gyms and classrooms, and to promote the inclusion of “video games addicted youth” by changing the paradigm of persistent stereotyping of video games as predominantly mindless, violent forms of entertainment, into seeing the potential of video gaming technologies as instructional tools that takes out the children from the desk chair out into the sport field.
