Danish common understanding
In recent years, a number of stakeholders from various sectors have engaged in translating the English concept of physical literacy. Physical literacy is translated by various actors into movement competence , or used synonymously with the concept of bodily formation . The great interest in the concept has led to a number of different definitions and understandings.
To be able to understand, promote and develop the concept in a Danish context, a wide range of practitioners, politicians and researchers from a number of organizations and institutions worked with a common Danish understanding of physical literacy at a national seminar (Nyborg, January, 2019).
