P
Design
I start with the need, the people and the setting to define objectives, activities, resources and evaluation criteria.
Roberto Pagnoncelli
Designer and Project Lead for movement, sport and education programmes.
I design and support programmes and experiences built around sport, play and movement, with an educational, relationship-focused and person-centred approach.
I work with schools, sports associations, education providers and organisations to turn an idea or a need into a practical project.
What I do
I support schools, sports associations, education providers and organisations in several ways.
Programme design
Movement and education programmes
From needs analysis to project planning: participants, objectives, methodology, activities, resources, feasibility and launch.
Concept development
Activity formats, camps and events
Creating new experiences through sport, play and movement: concept, programme, organisation and participant experience, through to the first delivery.
Education and training
Methodological development
Training for educators, instructors and practitioners in activity design, group management, educational relationships, inclusion, and the use of play and movement.
Alongside project design, I also work directly in the field to supervise and, where needed, lead activities.
About me
I hold a degree in Physical Education and Adapted Physical Activity and work as an independent professional across Bergamo, Milan and Monza, Italy.
Over almost ten years, I have worked with children, adults and older people in education, sport and adapted physical activity settings, including abroad.
My approach combines observation, listening, adaptation and care for relationships, using play as an educational tool.
Today, I increasingly combine hands-on delivery with the design and development of movement, sport and education programmes, supporting them from initial idea to implementation.
I design and support programmes and experiences built around sport, play and movement, with an educational, relationship-focused and person-centred approach.

How I work
Select a letter to learn more.
PROVA is the practical cycle I use to turn a need into a concrete intervention. I design and deliver, then observe and review what emerges to adapt activities and improve them over time. The acronym retains the Italian steps: Progettare (Design), Realizzare (Deliver), Osservare (Observe), Verificare (Review) and Adattare (Adapt).
R
Deliver
I put the project into practice, coordinating what is needed and taking care of the participants’ experience.
O
Observe
I observe individuals, the group and the setting to understand dynamics, participation and responses to the activities.
V
Review
I compare what happens with the initial objectives to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
A
Adapt
I adjust activities, organisation and delivery in response to observation and evaluation.

MAGIC is my approach to designing and leading movement and education experiences. It starts with the person and the setting to create meaningful, adaptable activities that build relationships and support wellbeing.
M
Movement
The body as a tool for discovery. I use movement to help people understand themselves, express themselves, connect with others and explore new experiences.
A
Listening
Active listening opens the way to empathy. I observe individuals, the group and the setting to understand them.
G
Play
Play is a fundamental language and a space for connection. I create a safe place to explore, have fun and learn.
I
Intention
Intention provides direction. Through study and design, I identify an objective and a purpose to work towards.
C
Care
Care means creating safety and respecting people and their individual worlds as I support them on their journeys.
MAGIC retains the initials of its Italian principles: Movimento (Movement), Ascolto (Listening), Gioco (Play), Intenzione (Intention) and Cura (Care).
