STREETFOOTBALL

Increased sports activity in the daily lives of children and young people

The goal of this project is to strengthen the health of all citizens by placing children and young people at the center of the process, to illustrate that society needs to take the health of young people seriously.

Behaviors acquired in the early years shape our lives as adults and influence health throughout our lives. Children spend a large part of their time in schools and recreational facilities, and that’s why we need to provide a healthy living environment there. Teachers and parents should teach children how to understand what is healthy and good for them and what is not, and we should encourage them to stand up for their rights.

This includes knowledge about nutrition, getting enough exercise, positive body awareness, healthy self-esteem, bullying prevention, mental health, etc.

The StreetFootball project offers easily accessible, football-based, fun activities that promote the health of children and young people, activities that encourage them to stay active, and that provide more sports and exercise into their school day, their free time, and their daily lives.

The project provides appropriate health promotion through nutritionists to better maintain and improve their own health.

Children and young people are made aware of the importance of physical activity, sports, and nutrition, as well as education on personal health and access to clean, natural green spaces.
