A-larm Norway recently hosted a highly successful “Train the Trainers” course at Gardermoen, Oslo, from June 12-14, 2024. Future trainers from across Norway gathered to deepen their understanding of facilitating physical activity, training, and sports for individuals recovering from drug addiction.
This course is part of the EU projects Erasmus+ Sport Reintegration Through Sport, Reintegration Through Sport Plus, and RACE4LIFE, initiatives in which A-larm Norge actively participates. Over three intensive days, 25 participants engaged in a comprehensive program that included theoretical, practical, and physical exercises. They explored various topics, such as:
- Creating lasting change in personal and others’ recovery processes through physical activity.
- Understanding the dynamics of internal and external motivation in training.
- Identifying factors that influence motivation for physical activity.
- Facilitating long-term enjoyment of exercise.
- Participating in practical and physical group exercises that highlighted the interplay between individual and group-based processes in sports.
The course was a resounding success, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. Plans are already in motion to build on this momentum with new service offerings, low-threshold activities, peer support work, and collaborative projects.
