This document was developed as part of the SIMPAL (Sport, Integration and Mental Health through Physically Active Learning) project, which uses sport and Physically Active Learning (PAL) to support the inclusion, well-being, and trauma recovery of Ukrainian refugee children. By integrating movement into education, SIMPAL creates engaging and supportive learning environments that help children adapt and thrive.
SIMPAL is an 18-month pilot project co-funded by the European Union and led by ISCA, in partnership with Krokiet and Lama Academy. This document is intended for teachers, educators, school leaders, and other stakeholders interested in introducing or strengthening PAL, particularly in primary education (ages 6–9). It supports both beginners and experienced practitioners by offering structured guidance, practical tools, and ready-to-use resources to enhance learning, integration, classroom climate, and student well-being through movement.
