In Germany, the original Event`s structure (presential participation) had to be changed due to COVID-19 regulations not allowing physical meetings. To raise the number of participants and not violate the pandemic's strong policy rules in Germany, the project partners responsible (WGI &DSLV) for organizing decided to organize the National Event of dissemination of the EuPEO Project in an online format. The Willibald Gebhardt Research Institute (WGI) and the German Physical Education Teacher Association (DSLV)  organised the German MSE on March 17th, from 4 to 6 pm, to present the EuPEO Instruments and evaluate its' usability. Were present 17 participants in this event. The participant perceptions on the EuPEO instruments' usability were a positive remark of this event. In the near future, the German team for EuPEO intends to hold a broader face-to-face event that allows the presentation and discussion of the future European Physical Education Observatory. 

University College Cork (UCC), the 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.

The Syndicate Nationale d' Éducation Physique and the University of Strasbourg jointly organized the  French national MSE on March 29th to deliver a one-day conference that would allow bringing the EuPEO tools into dialogue with other thematic frameworks for the analysis of the quality physical education. The French MSE organization also aimed to showcase the EuPEO instrument's potential and submit it to an evaluation by the event's thirty tow participants, Physical Education Teachers, researchers, and stakeholders.  

The Czech Society of PE teachers and the 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.

On June 11th 2021, the European Physical Education Association (EUPEA) organized, with the support of Syndicat National de l'Education Physique (SNEP), the International Multiplier Sport Event for dissemination of the EuPEO Project under the theme: Monitoring Quality Physical Education by EuPEO.  The aim of the event was to disseminate the project, its’ main results, and outputs among European policymakers for education and sport, but also among EUPEA country members.
