Event Details

Join us for an informative and engaging discussion about the Joy of Moving program; an innovative international program connecting universities, industry, and communities to support children's growth.


Joy of Moving creator, Dr Caterina Pesce from the University of Rome will join Professor Nicole Rinehart from Monash University to share new insights about this unique partnership between Italian and Australian academics, supported by Ferrero.


The Australian expression of the program is the first to consider mental health impacts and has already benefited more than 3,500 local students, with the potential for further significant contributions to benefit young people all around the world. Since its inception almost 20 years ago, the global Joy of Moving program has positively impacted more than 60 million children across 34 countries.
