Movement symbols

Add an activating movement symbol to lecture, meeting or meeting materials, for example in the top corner of presentation material. The movement symbol reminds participants to change working positions and the importance of even the smallest movement, and allows participants to stand up or take a break during the session. Introduce participants to the use of the movement symbol at the beginning of the session. You can find more movement signs in Word icons by searching for "sport.

Save movement symbols by clicking on the picture with left button and then click "save a picture."
