The HopaSus project aims to demonstrate the potential of sports video games in education. On this platform, we provide various sources – articles, recommendations, video tutorials, and HopaSus guide, which we hope will broaden the horizons not only of children or young people but also of their parents and teachers, sports educators. Let the freely available material created during the project be an impetus to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle.
Let‘s hop up for sport!
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.
