Moving Schools Challenger (MSC) project
The Moving Schools Challenger (hereinafter: “MSC”) is a project born from experiences carried out in Spain with different healthy and physically active programs during 3 school years. This program, coordinated by Deporte para la Educacion y la Salud (DES), has proven to have a very beneficial impact on the activity level of students, parents, and teachers.
In 2022, the concept presented earlier became a project proposal, which was funded by the European Commission under the ERASMUS+ program as the Moving Schools Challenger project.
The aim of the MSC project is to create a pan-European programme for the whole school year with different cooperative monthly challenges (to achieve higher results for the school score together). Students get more committed to being active and behaving in a healthy way, and they learn and integrate healthy lifestyles and lifelong behaviours in a positive way based on their experience of going to school every day. The program will provide support to schools for implementation and will reward them monthly on successful completion of the program.
The Hungarian School Sport Federation has been a cooperation partner in the project since autumn 2023. The project will be piloted in the following 10 Hungarian schools in the 2023/2024 school year:
