Study in Europe

The European Forum of Psychomotricity regards the significant variation in Psychomotricity education across European countries as presenting multiple opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

Understand
the role of the EFP

The EFP aims to promote cooperation, support the development of regions, and coordinate and harmonize educational programs and training initiatives.

Promote
Cooperation

The EFP aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, organize networking events such as the Student’s Academy, initiate collaborative projects, and support mobility, including international internships.

Support
developping countries

The EFP is committed to providing assistance to countries or regions where psychomotricity is not yet well-developed. This support may include guidelines to found an initial education, to help establish and strengthen the field of psychomotricity in these areas, and achieve recognition.

Coordinate
and Harmonize

The EFP aims to work towards harmonization, including the development of a Minimum Curriculum among other initiatives. Establishing benchmarks for excellence involves developing and implementing standards that ensure consistency and effectiveness across educational programs in psychomotricity.

Variety of Curricula

Despite efforts to standardize through mechanisms like the Bologna Process and ECTS credits, differences in educational systems, cultural contexts, and regulatory frameworks can lead to variations in psychomotricity education across Europe.

Initial
education

Initial education in psychomotricity refers to the foundational training required to become a psychomotrician / psychomotor therapist.
This education provides students with the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to understand and apply psychomotor principles, to assess psychomotor functions and to plan and implement psychomotor interventions.
