World’s Premier Live Event for Movement and Physical Development in Early Education
Designed for educators, school leaders and professionals working with children in Kindergarten and Primary years.
January 17-18, 2026: Mumbai
The Motor Skill Learning Live Conference is an international, hands-on professional learning event designed for educators, early childhood specialists, and physical education professionals.
Hosted by the Motor Skill Learning Academy, Switzerland, this global initiative promotes active learning through movement, focusing on the development of motor skills, coordination, rhythm, and physical literacy for children aged 3–7 years.
The conference emphasizes a 90% practical format, where participants engage in physical activities, movement games, and creative play modules rather than theoretical lectures. It is globally recognized for advancing the pedagogy of learning through movement in early and primary education.
The 2026 Mumbai Edition marks the 5th Global Edition of the conference, following successful events in Basel (2022, 2023, 2025) and Singapore (2024). This will be the first-ever edition in India, making it a landmark professional development event for educators and institutions.
