Application
Promoting Green Strategies in Sport
The developed mobile application will act as both an information hub for parents and children that want to take part together in physical activities, as well as a means for them to specify their preferences and rate different physical exercises that are presented. The latter is important for future steps of the project, in particular in assuring that in the process of drafting the EU-level sports policy our team will be informed and aware of the needs and preferences of the communities.
More specifically, the mobile application will include short videos of educational and constructive outdoors activities that can be practiced by parents and children. These animated clips are meant to clearly and quickly present the main rules of a game, the number of players and any required extra materials, in an attractive manner.
On top of these, the application will feature an experience system, the more educational games a user has seen and practiced, the more experience points they gather. These experience points will come into handy at the final events in each community, the project team having prepared a surprise for those with most experience points gained.
The PROGRESS mobile application will be a hub for tips and tricks, gaining knowledge on physical health, ideas for physical family activities and will add extra incentives for parent-child physical activities through its experience-based system. This particular mobile application is created by keeping in mind the ideas and experiences of parents, physical educators and PE teachers that have been asked to respond to our first questionnaire and have been interviewed in the first stages of the PROGRESS project.
A point of emphasis has been the creation of friendly competition as an important element of development for children and of deepening the bond between parents and their children.
Take a look at the first version of the PROGRESS App, still a work in progress.
The PROGRESS app will allow you to find places to practice sports outside with your family in one of the partners’ home cities, to visualise animated videos of physical exercises and to sign up, participate and earn points during our local events (which are to be announced soon).
Before the app becomes available on iOS and Android, try out some of our proposals for outdoors activities between family members, available on the PROGRESS YouTube channel in English, French, Italian, Romanian, Serbian, Greek, Slovak and Bulgarian.
