How?

How to do it

  1. Create a Movement Development Group together with the young people. Select young people and leaders who want to follow up and develop movement activities based on feedback.

  2. Decide on a working model: how often the group will meet, how feedback will be collected (e.g., anonymous forms, conversations, surveys), and how actions will be followed up. You can use other methods from this section to collect feedback and requests.

  3. Review feedback regularly. Discuss what emerges about the amount of physical activity, content, accessibility, and meaningfulness. What works? What can be tried in a different way?

  4. Agree on concrete development steps. Choose a limited number of changes to be implemented by the next meeting. You can also test new ideas as short trials.

  5. Document and share the group’s work with other young people and staff so that everyone is kept informed about developments.

  6. Evaluate the group’s work together at regular intervals: How has the group worked? Does the work feel meaningful? Do the participants want to continue?

Why?

A regularly convened follow-up group strengthens young people’s participation and opportunity to influence. The opportunity to influence the content of movement activities increases motivation to participate. Continuous evaluation and development of the activities supports meaningfulness and transparency.
