Let's Move It Closing Seminar

The Let’s Move It research project investigated a school-based intervention to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour. This closing seminar showcased the findings of this research and their implications for practice: practical strategies, strengths and limitations of the research, and lessons learned.

The event attracted more than 100 participants. Thank you to each and every one of you for attending!

Talks shed light on e.g.:

• Methods of developing theory- and evidence-based behaviour change interventions
• Why do interventions work (or not)? Psychological and social processes of behaviour change
• Novel methods for evaluation of complex interventions
• and much more!
