Theme / objective of the congress
The latest advances in the promotion of physical activity and the fight against sedentary lifestyle in schools (primary, secondary and university) will be presented by international experts in the field. These presentations will be partly theoretical (plenary lectures) but also practical with concrete examples and tools presented in dedicated workshops.
This congress will act as the closing event of the 2PASS-4Health project and will thus allow to share the results and tools created during this project. It is intended for the scientific community but also for all stakeholders involved in the promotion of physical activity, both at school level (school heads, teachers, management staff, school nurse) and at territorial level (city sports department, sports department heads, sports educators, extracurricular staff).

Presentation of the lecturers
Pr. Julien Bois (PhD in Sport and Physical Activity Sciences) is researcher in exercise and sport psychology, with a special focus in promotion of physical activity. His research is developed at the research group “Movement Balance Performance and Health” of UPPA and focus on intervention design, implementation and evaluation in promotion of physical activity. He teaches sport and exercise psychology, research methods and behaviour change techniques in promotion of physical activity at the Department of Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sport Activities (STAPS). He was leader for UPPA, of the CAPAS-cité European project (2016-2020), in collaboration with the university of Zaragoza and the City of Tarbes. He is the coordinator of the present 2PASS-4Health projec
Dr. José Carlos Ribeiro is Associate Professor at the University of Porto. He has expertise in working in international and national projects. His main research area focus on research methods in the measurement of physical activity and physical fitness, active commuting, health and built environment and has already conducted several investigations in the school context.
Pr. Catherine Woods holds a Chair in Physical Activity for Health in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Limerick (UL). She is a member of UL’s Health Research Institute (https://www.ul.ie/research/hri), and Director of Collaboration & Internationalisation within its recently established Physical Activity for Health Research Cluster (https://www.ul.ie/hri/hri-research/research-clusters). Her expertise is in lifestyle intervention development and knowledge translation. Current research priorities include understanding the determinants of physical activity in children and young people, and developing evidence-based interventions to promote physical activity in this cohort.
Dr Leen Haerens developed a sound and distinctive program of research with a clear mission: “investigating what is needed to successfully motivate youngsters’ towards lifelong engagement in physical activity for health”. She investigates (1) teachers’ and coaches’ (de-)motivating strategies in relation to relevant outcomes such as youngsters’ activity levels, (2) antecedents of teachers’ (de-) and coaches’ motivating strategies, and (3) whether teachers and coaches can be trained to implement motivating strategies, hereby starting from Self-Determination Theory (SDT, Deci & Ryan, 2000). She has become one of the leading scholars internationally in her field. Leen Haerens has published over 90 articles in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. She authored or co-authored several book chapters and two books. She has accumulated extensive experience in delivering workshops to teachers (i.e. about healthy schools) and sports coaches both nationally (M-factor) and internationally (University of Lima, Peru). Particularly impactful was the realization of an evidence-based online environment (https://vobserver.dreamsandcreations.site) in which students and teachers can a) self-assess their motivating style, and b) upload videos of their own lessons/trainings to code their own motivating style.
