4 weeks of Acro is designed for students, siblings, teachers, parents, couples, families and roommates. Spend 4 weeks learning and practicing Acro-balance at home with experienced teachers.
Each tutorial is delivered with a focus on safety and success for people with different levels of movement experience.
As an educational program that goes beyond physical literacy, this course also promotes cognitive, social and emotional health by providing opportunities for participants to engage in problem solving, teamwork, reciprocity and connectivity.
Opportunities to work on these life skills through physical interaction are important for mental health and resilience, especially now when our opportunities to engage with each other are limited.
This course was created to help ameliorate the negative impacts associated with restricted access to peer interaction as result of the various levels of COVID-19 social distancing measures we all have and may continue to experience.
We are sharing these activities in respect of local legislations created to protect more vulnerable members of society and hope you will do the same.
I hope you enjoy the course.
Stay Safe and Be Well,
Jill

What do participants think?
It’s very applicable in my everyday work, especially dealing with children who have difficulty in concentration, and focus. And it's very helpful for the children that are hyperactive. They can do these activities for hours, whereas, in daily life, it's very difficult for them to concentrate on one activity. This activity is really helpful for them, for kids like that. - Lalu Kamarudin, Yayasan Peduli Anak, Lombok, Indonesia (2020)
