Do you also move too little?
A group of citizens is helping researchers from DRIVEN_SDU at the University of Southern Denmark understand which techniques we, as humans, use when we need to motivate ourselves to increase our physical activity.
Around 30 citizens between 35 and 55 years old attended the first of three workshops on January 16, 2025, as part of the ENACTING project.
They represent a broad cross-section of the Danish population in terms of, among other things, education and work. They signed up on their own initiative because they want to contribute their experience and input on how behavioural change techniques can be used to increase physical activity.
New digital platform to boost physical activity
The goal of the ENACTING project is to develop and test an innovative digital platform that can boost physical activity through training with behavioural change techniques.
During the workshop:
- The citizens were introduced to the research project and the science behind change processes and behavioural change techniques.
- The citizens provided their first user input and feedback on which techniques work and which features should be prioritised in an app.
From research to everyday life
The Health Innovation Centre of Southern Denmark’s role in the project is to “translate” findings from the world of research into a suitable format for a workshop setting, ensure user involvement, and create the framework for the three workshops in terms of design, moderation, process management, and group work facilitation, as well as provide support for analysis.
An international collaboration
The ENACTING project is an international collaboration led by DRIVEN – Danish Centre for Motivation and Behavioural Science at the University of Southern Denmark, together with researchers from Finland and Canada.
The project is supported by TrygFonden.
