100 Voices.
1 Movement.
Different voices. One shared belief: every child deserves the opportunity to move, learn and thrive.
For Physical Literacy Week 2026, we’re bringing together voices from across Australia and around the world to share what physical literacy means to them — and why it matters for every child
100 voices. 100 perspectives.
1 conversation about physical literacy
100 Voices brings these perspectives together. Throughout Physical Literacy Week, we're sharing stories from educators, parents, researchers, health professionals, community leaders and children themselves - exploring what physical literacy means and the difference it can make.
Physical literacy can mean something different to everyone:
Educator
Seeing a child finally find the confidence to join in.
Parent
Watching their child discover the joy of movement
Researcher or health professional
Understanding the lifelong impact those early experiences can have
Hear from our community
A few of the voices sharing why physical literacy matters
"Movement, especially for our kids, is not just about building healthy bodies, it's about building healthy brains, it's about also through the gift and magic of play, is how we raise children to be socially and emotionally capable little people as well. Please get our kids moving, please get them playing."
"To me, physical literacy is about children having the confidence and ability to move their bodies freely and enjoy playing with their friends."
"It's about building confidence, it's about exploring different ways of moving and developing a love of being active and for me that's what physical literacy is."
"Physical literacy means giving children the skills and confidence to feel successful in movement."
"At GeckoSports, physical literacy is about giving every child the confidence to move, play, explore and discover what they’re truly capable of."
“I see it in my kids every day through learning a new skill, taking a risk, working through frustration and developing confidence.”
"Repetition builds competence, fun builds confidence, and together they build physical literacy.”
“It shouldn’t just be something that we only teach one way. It needs to be something that we can teach in many ways so that all kids can enjoy physical activity.”
"For us, physical literacy is all about breaking down barriers and making movement accessible to every child, no matter their age, ability or circumstance."
