Project
Erasmus+ KA2 : Aquatic Literacy For All Children - ALFAC (EUPOM123)
The ALFAC project is a partnership between researchers, educators and institutional stakeholders from Europe aiming to improve the
quality of aquatic education. It addresses the educational challenge of improving aquatic literacy (AL) levels of children aged 6-12, to
better protect them from the dangers of being active in water environments, and to motivate them to engage in water-based activities
both now and later. The ten full partners come from seven countries with different drowning accident rates and are involved in water
education. In each country, a network of associated partners has been formed to be as close as possible to the pedagogical and structural
issues. All partners are representative of the different types of organization and curriculum that can be found in Europe in the teaching of
“can swim”. This diversity will allow the results of the ALFAC project to subsequently benefit worldwide.
