Q&A – International Organizations
(UN, WHO, UNICEF, World Bank, IMF)
1. Does the School Dream Gym project align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
Yes – it directly achieves at least 5 goals:
SDG 3: Good health and quality of life,
SDG 4: Quality education,
SDG 10: Reduced inequalities,
SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities,
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
This is a socially, educationally, health-wise and economically integrated project – ready for implementation at the national and international level.
2. Does the project fit into WHO strategies – e.g. Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (GAPPA)?
Yes – straight forward. The project implements the GAPPA assumptions:
increases the level of physical activity in the child population,
implements education about a healthy lifestyle,
creates accessible environments for activity in schools,
works locally – with the possibility of global adaptation.
This is a model for implementing GAPPA at the school, family and commune levels.
3. Does the project support WHO recommendations on physical activity for children and adolescents?
Yes – The World Health Organization recommends:
at least 60 minutes a day of moderate or intense physical activity,
at least 3 days a week of muscle and bone strengthening training.
The School Dream Gym allows you to:
regular muscle strengthening,
precise testing and progression,
education about the role of strength in mental health,
metabolic and bone.
This is compliance with WHO recommendations – at the operational level.
4. Is the project scalable in low- and middle-income countries?
Yes – the model is based on:
existing infrastructure (schools),
affordable equipment (modular machines, even 1 set per school),
simple and low-cost tests, local involvement (teacher, parent, trainer, nurse).
This is a project that can be implemented in:
a rural school in Asia,
urban settlement in Latin America,
refugee camp, district in a European metropolis.
Scalability and adaptation are its DNA.
5. Could UNICEF consider the project as a form of child rights protection?
Yes – because the project:
protects children's health,
gives them a tool to understand and develop their own body,
strengthens independence, resilience, and the ability to learn.
It is the realization of a child's right to health, education and equal opportunities – by building biological strength.
6. Can the World Bank or IMF support such projects?
Yes – the project can be an element of:
population health investment strategy,
component of grants and targeted loans,
part of educational projects with a health component.
This is a project with a real impact on macroeconomic indicators:
productivity,
health expenses,
healthy life expectancy.
Strengthening the power of society = reducing the costs of the system.
7. Can the project be certified or recommended by WHO/UNESCO/UNICEF?
Yes – after piloting and evaluation, the project may:
obtain a recommendation as good practice,
be included in the catalogue of preventive programs,
serve as a model for regions.
The application, testing and strength passport systems are components ready for international standardization.
8. How can international organizations get involved in the project?
as expert partners,
as a source of financing for pilot projects,
as patrons of the social campaign,
as coordinators of international projects,|
as institutions supporting the construction of databases and scientific knowledge.
