Perth, Australia
World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2023
Our ALFAC team travelled to Perth, Australia, to represent the project at the World Conference on Drowning Prevention.
Five communications were achieved:
- Léa Mekkaoui presented the challenges and stages of the project with a poster.
- Kristine De Martelaer presented a poster detailing part of the questionnaire in our test battery designed to measure children's perception of risks in the natural environment and in swimming pools.
- Ilka Staub spoke about the actual and perceived skills measured in our test battery and the validation procedure.
- Léa Mekkaoui talked about the first French results for the psycho-motor dimension assessed using the combined skills test.
- Susana Soares described the construction methodology and content of the pedagogical toolbox for developing aquatic literacy levels in Europe.
It was a great pleasure to disseminate the initial results to the international academics our theoretical frameworks draw inspiration from, as well as to life-saving foundations and federations, which implement various measures and interventions to prevent drowning accidents on a daily basis.
