Ireland

Czech Republic, Switzerland, Hungary, and Ireland reported a successful organization of their National Multiplier Sports Events!

Czech Society of PE teachers and Faculty of Physical Culture Palacký University in Olomouc jointly organised the 12th of May 2021 event to deliver a one-day conference “European Physical Education Observatory – possibilities for practical usage” organised as a professional training activity for PE teachers and coordinators as including PE researchers, PE teacher´s trainers, experts to present the EuPEO Manual and the EuPEO Toolkit.

The event focused on methodological dimensions and results obtained throughout the project, as well as a training workshop for teachers on EuPEO TIM and another for researchers and experts focused on EuPEO MEA. The Czech MSE organization also aimed to showcase student’s learning in PE as well as their knowledge and understanding in different category titles related to PE and HEPA in schools.

The Association Suisse d’Education Physique and the Swiss National Office of Sport organized the EuPEO National Event at the end of May. Several thematic were discussed regarding the development of Physical Education Switzerland, the QIMS evaluation and monitoring program, the national observatory for Physical activity and sport, and the link between EuPEO and the existing monitoring tools in Switzerland. EuPEO project was presented to other national institutional partners and Prof. Roland Naul, representative of a Germany EuPEO partner, shared their experience implementing EuPEO. The discussion panel was impressed with the potentialities and richness of the EuPEO data by following the results of the students in the last school year as an indicator for PE and health.

The Hungarian School Sport Federation (HSSF) planned a two-day event to present the EuPEO project potentialities (20th and 21st of June 2021) under the theme: Quality Physical Education after the Pandemic - experiences, opportunities, and monitoring. The aim of the event was to disseminate the project, its’ main results, and outputs among Hungarian stakeholders for education and sport. To accomplish the purpose of this final project event, HSSF promoted its online meeting and invited all relevant stakeholders (parents, teachers, principals, heads of PE, university professors, and heads of departments) to participate in the online meeting. Considering the current pandemic context, the EuPEO National Multiplier Event was organized in an online format, open to all interested and concerned parties to enhance a greater and more equitable range of information for participants.

University College Cork (UCC), EuPEO project partner from Ireland, implemented an online asynchronous recorded multiplier stakeholder event (MSE) at the end of June 2021, specifically in respect of upholding the existing school-based COVID-19 protocol for Ireland. This recording was shared with the Physical Education Association of Ireland (PEAI) to subject association members (Qualified Physical Education Teachers at Secondary School Level). Irish MSE for EuPEO will be offered to Irish schools through the PEAI network channel during the commencement of the next 2021-22 school year. In the interim period, the Irish partners at UCC distributed this asynchronous recorded MSE weblink more locally to Irish participating stakeholders.

After facing restrictions due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the EuPEO Partners successfully assured the dissemination and exploitation of results relative to the EuPEO instruments pilot application!
