The German Development Agency GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) and ICSSPE have signed an agreement under which, in co-operation with sporting goods producer NIKE Inc. and their programme Access to Sport / Designed to Move, initiatives for more physical activity will be encouraged during the school day.

 

Prior to this agreement, NIKE and GIZ had formed a Strategic Alliance to activate schools and the education system globally. The alliance is funded through the develoPPP.de programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and aims at measures for global policy development and local action on school level which will, in addition to quality physical education classes, focus on more physical activity also during other classes and during breaks.

 

Pilot countries for both, policy development and joint activities with interested, especially primary, schools and the cooperating teacher training institutions, in most cases universities, are South Africa and Brazil.
