Political work
The European Forum of Psychomotricity (EFP) serves as a key political interlocutor on matters related to Psychomotricity in Europe, influencing policy decisions and advocating for greater recognition.
The EFP political work has been developed in three main axes:
- European commission authorities
- International institutions related with the development of Psychomotricity
- Political or scientific national initiatives
European Commission
Authorities
The European Forum of Psychomotricity (EFP) plays an important political role for the European Commission when it comes to all psychomotor matters such as curriculums of psychomotor education and recognition of the profession.
The EFP Board held several meetings with authorities of the European Commission.
February 2007
Mrs Pamela Brumter-Coret
head of office of the Direction of Internal Market and Services
March 2009
Mr. Jan Varchola
Policy Officer and Program Manager for Vocational Education and learning “Leonardo da Vinci” from the Directorate-General of Education and Culture
March 2015
Mrs. Agata Walaszczyk-Terrasse
General Directorate Internal Market and Services E4 – Free movement of professionals links
In 2007, the EFP achieves an important political goal: the official recognition by the European Commission in Brussels.
Since then, the EFP appears at the homepage of the European Commission as recognised organisation to be heard in matters of Psychomotricity.
The EU Commission points out a directive from 2005 as an important step in the process of recognition of professional qualifications and of the free movement of professionals in the European Union.
International Institutions related with the development of Psychomotricity
The European Forum of Psychomotricity (EFP), the Organisation International de Psychomotricité et de Relaxation” (OIPR) and the Red Latin-American de Universidades con Formación en Psicomotricidad (Red Fortaleza de Psicomotricidad) are international institutions involved in the development of Psychomotricity through high quality innovative activities in the area of education, professional development, research and political initiatives.
This declaration is the expression of shared principles between the EFP, OIPR and Red Fortaleza in order to provide a conceptual and methodological reference for the development of Psychomotricity and to promote the profession of psychomotricians for the benefit of professionals and also of target populations of their practices.
Political or Scientific
National Initiatives
EFP has supported several political and scientific initiatives developed by national professional Associations with the political or university authorities of the different member countries.
