3-2-1 Let’s Get Active

Showcasing the ground-breaking Activation Zone at the Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. This gallery uses bespoke digital and mechanical interactives to help visitors create a personal physical literacy profile before recommending physical activities that might suit, and then signposting them to clubs and providers across the country. This is part of Qatar’s National Physical Literacy Journey, led by the Museum in partnership with the International Physical Literacy Association, UNESCO, the Qatar Olympic Committee and the Ministries of Public Health and Education. Its aim is to activate the inspiration of the museum collection and promote personal engagement in physical activity.
