      FUN – Digital aids for increased joy of movement for children with neurodevelopmental disorders

      The level of physical activity is constantly declining among children and adolescents. School children today do not reach the recommended level of activity needed to maintain good physical and mental health, in the present or for the future. The FUN project aims to develop digital aids and applications that will encourage pupils with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to increase their level of physical activity.
