Activity Icons

The Activity Icon is a symbol that can be downloaded onto teaching or study material, and it works as a reminder to reduce sitting, change working postures and take breaks. The Activity Icons can be used on slides or on other study material. By using Activity Icons, the planning and realization of breaks becomes easier. When the Activity Icon appears on the slide, it’s time to get active and move!

Active University -project offers different kind of Activity Icons that include ideas for different kind of breaks and activity movements.

The cards remind and inspire to take breaks during study and teaching, and to reduce and take breaks from sitting. The cards have three themes: activating break, restorative break and functional teaching methods.

Activating well-being cards contain tips for moving the body while studying and working, as well as instructions for short and easy break activities.

The Time to Move! badge, developed by the Finland on the Move program, encourages us to reduce sitting during meetings and events. The badge can be added to a meeting invitation or the opening slide as a reminder that it’s okay to stand up and move around during the session. In addition, there are five different characters that suggest movements to help break up sitting.
