Move@Work (M@W) intends to contribute to European effort to raise awareness of the importance of HEPA at the workplace and fight against sedentary lifestyles that worsened during the COVID pandemic (e.g. teleworking). Following the results of a previous project, Workplace Active Certification, aiming to create EU certification for workplaces implementing PA for their employees, several conclusions were highlighted: - Strong interest from companies participating and other stakeholders for the certification and company sport in general and for the certification - Need to go further than only certifying a company: I am certified but after what happen, how can I progress? - Lack of evaluation/self-assessment to measure results and outcomes of implementing PA for companies: I implement sport for my employees but what are objectives/criteria/outcome/results? Whereas there is a consensus from employers and employees around the interest for PA at work, why only 13% of employees practice a regular physical activity. Lacks of time, of tools, of information, of interest are major breaks highlighted but throughout M@W activities we will intend to: 1) Consolidate, clarify constraints, breaks and needs based on end-users analysis 2) Create tools for support, popularization, education 3) Promote and communicate to private and public decisions makers a support in their approach to integrating PA into their policy 'business Major M@W production will be an online platform and a digital educational program (MOOC) to educate, train, and democratise the implementation of company sport. Among other deliverables, there will be focus groups reports, white book, toolkits, PA evaluation tools. We will also organise conference events (e.g in Bordeaux, dedicated to a consensus statement around company sport). Around sustainability of the project, there will be the creation of a network of active supporters, symbol of our cross sectorial approach represented by MAW partners' diversity
