Consortium, n.d.; MOVE AS YOU ARE Consortium, 2024b).
2The Erasmus+ Project MOVE AS YOU ARE—Aims, Partners, Outputs, and
Method
MOVE AS YOU ARE is co‑funded by the European Union (Erasmus+
Sport; project code 101133647), launched in 2024 for two years. The aim is to
equip general PE teachers, TSVIs, coaches, and therapists with practical tools to
initiate children with VI into movement and sport safely and competently. The
consortium integrates nonprofit, municipal, academic, and project‑management
expertise: Real Eyes Sport (Italy) is a nonprofit that coordinates the project and
leads field implementation and dissemination; the Municipality of Vila Nova de
Famalicão (Portugal) authored the adapted swimming teaching component; the
APALab—National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece) provides
research and training expertise; and Euphoria Net (Italy) supports project
management and dissemination.
