Printed Material – Action Plan
CESIE’s main role in the project SPAcE (Supporting Policy and Action for Active Environments) has been to lead the development of an Urban Active Environment (UActivE) Action Plan for the city of Palermo in order to address low levels of physical activity in the community and promote physical activity-friendly environments. The final Action Plan focuses on addressing child overweight and obesity levels through the development of programmes to increase physical activity in and out of school.
Two main goals of the Plan have been developed:
- A School Urban Trails Programme – Urban trekking from home to school to playground that encourages children to walk and cycle to school and areas of play with the use of Walking Guides, mobile app and incorporating historical monuments of the city within the urban trails;
- An Active School Districts programme that aims to make use of school recreational facilities during after school hours and improving the facilities offered by school buildings for maintaining a physical active friendly environment within local communities.
