You don’t only learn with your head! Movement and games increase brain activity, improve learning success – and simply put you in a good mood!

Especially at the time of the corona lockdown, it is all the more important to combine online learning with exercise breaks and loosen up with active games. How can this be achieved – even if the lessons mostly take place in front of the screen and space is limited at home?

Our speakers will show you how it can be done: with simple tips, exercises, and examples that you can use in your lessons!
