This year, Motor Skills Week will take place from Monday 1 to 5 November 2021, with the theme ‘More and better physical activity for young people’. Preparations are in full swing, and it promises to be an inspiring week for everyone committed to helping young people aged 0 to 24 develop skills in sports and physical activity.

Motor Skills Week is of interest to professionals working in practice, policy and research in the fields of sports and physical activity, education, healthcare and welfare, childcare and local government. The Knowledge Centre for Sport & Physical Activity is organising Motor Skills Week together with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, NOC*NSF, the Mulier Institute, KVLO, Wij Buurtsportcoaches, the Platform of Lecturers and the VSG.

Did you know that all the sessions from Motor Skills Week 2020 have been compiled in a digital magazine? In 2020, the theme was drawing more attention to the value and importance of Broad Motor Development (BMO).
