Problem?

Children are getting less exercise, which is not good for their health. Lockdown increased time spent watching TV, playing video games etc by 50%.

Solution!

French schools have introduced half an hour a day of running, jumping, throwing and dancing. And there’s a bonus – kids do better in class!

Adults Info

France-Inter has this story on the Paris schools exercise initiative, in French only.

The World Health Organization reported last month on how children in various European countries differ in the amount of exercise they take and time spend on screens. And check out this major WHO report on childhood obesity and what can be done about it.

And Bloomberg reported last month on initiatives in London to close streets to cars in an effort to get kids cycling or walking to school.
