'Kid, you'll move mountains' (part of the Festival of Social Sciences) II

Kid, you'll move mountains

It is never too early to ask yourself ‘What do I want to be when I grow up’. So as part of the Festival of Social Sciences ‘our working lives’ theme, this event will help children discover how physical activity is embedded in everything we do. Highlighting how physical activity enables us to learn new skills, feel better and spend time with friends, and discovering what activities we enjoy, can influence choices in later life. Engaging in physical activity (particularly exercise and sport) declines as children move through adolescence, therefore emphasising the importance and relevance of being physical active across the lifespan needs to happen from an early age. Therefore, this event will allow children to take part in games and activities while thinking about the role of physical activity in their daily life.
