ALCIS = Greek Goddess of Sport. This innovative action provides schoolchildren +/- 12 years with a series of choreographed exercise classes combined with a 4-week education programme on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity. It will take place in 5 EU countries, involving up to 75 community-based sport/fitness centres cooperating with local schools. It is expected that there will be 4,000-7,500 children directly benefiting from the action which will start on the European Week of Sport focus day of 8th September (education and sport).

The education programme will run together with a series of fun, energetic group exercise classes organised by local not-for-profit sport/fitness centres. The ALCIS programme will be specifically aimed to be complimentary to other teaching taking place in the schools, and will end with a mass exercise class to involve the children’s parents, family and friends.
