Last week, the first working meeting for the PROPHYEDU project began in São Paulo, Brazil, by which the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) aims to foster academic success through physical education. UMH faculty participants in this meeting included Adolfo Aracil Marco, David Pineda, and Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia.

This project, which is part of the Erasmus+ program as a KA2 key action, is being coordinated by the Miguel Hernández University of Elche and co-funded by the European Union. In this first working session, the UMH investigators played active roles in defining the work strategy and future action plan. During its work sessions, the representatives from the participating institutions worked together to devise and plan innovative strategies aiming to improve learning and inclusion in physical education and thereby ensure higher-quality education for students.

Collaboration in this project emanates from an international team of universities and organizations committed to education and student development. In addition to the UMH, project participants include the University of Évora (Portugal), University of San Judas Tadeo (Brazil), University of São Paulo (Brazil), University of the Bío Bío (Chile), Catholic University of the Most Holy Conception (Chile), and UP Project Gestión de Proyectos (Spain).

This agreement is the result of synergies that emerged between these entities a few months ago as part of the framework of the SPRINT program.
