Visual artefacts created by children (n = 24) aged 9–13 and two physical education teachers capture their experience with the FFD project implemented in the communities of Río Arriva, La Manzana, and Los Canales in the Madriz region of Nicaragua. Interpretative phenomenological analysis combined with qualitative coding demonstrates that participants’ lived experiences can be meaningfully captured and analyzed through...
