More movement in learning – school and adult education in the past 20 years brain research has provided more insights than ever before in human history. Latest neuroscientific findings show that movement has a positive effect on brain activity. Who moves, has more from life! Mens sana in corpere sano – a healthy mind in a healthy body. Movement builds up energy in the body brings oxygen to the brain increases the efficiency of lifts the spirit fun recessed fitting on the subject of the learning content encouraging motivation it all has been proven and is known. But: Why is the reality in most classrooms and seminar rooms designed not after? Why is so little about in schools and in adult education can be thinking, how learning and movement implemented in the classroom? On the one hand brain and mind, on the other side of body and soul – that belongs together and must not be separated even in the learning.

Current results from brain – research learning and revive that the brain learns easier, better and more sustainable when movement in the game. It must be not the great sport activity or the outdoor experiential event. Just stand up, change the place or the area, form groups, offer Energieaufbaktivitaten, BrainGym exercises build up u.v.m… all is movement, which stimulates thinking and positive influence on the mood.

Frontal teaching can not manage to improve the learning performance. With motion and inserting as many senses, it is possible to improve learning performance. In my opinion only the action and erlebnisoriente learning can have a future. The teacher is facilitator and consultant who creates the best conditions in the classroom, to facilitate the learning of his students and course participants. A way is that there are more Gehungen instead of sessions and the learning curve is not only served but it goes ahead with the education – in the truest sense of the word!
