By Plenary Sessions: Kristina Šmigun-Vähi

The speaker demonstrates profound expertise in the fields of sports policy, physical education, and public health, citing both personal experience and national strategies (such as the Fundamentals of Sports Policy until 2030). He/She delves into detailed issues, including the structure of school timetables, the limits of school autonomy in curriculum selection, and the underlying causes of declining children’s health metrics (screen addiction, insufficient physical activity). This expertise is reinforced by the proposal of practical solutions, such as opening schoolyards to the public and conducting lessons outdoors.
