Location and general information



Context
In Sweden, children living in under-resourced urban areas of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö face challenges such as social isolation, physical inactivity and limited access to sport. These issues contribute to health disparities, social exclusion and a lack of community cohesion.
Project goals
En Frisk Generation provides free, inclusive outdoor activities in order to:
- promote physical health and well-being
- foster social inclusion and community engagement
- enhance children’s personal development and teamwork
- ensure that all children have access to equitable and inclusive sports opportunities
- build stronger, more connected communities through sport
Project content
Sessions aimed at children aged 4 to 12 years old are offered on a regular basis in local parks and sports facilities. The sessions include activities such as football and other ball sports, with an emphasis on teamwork and physical fitness, as well as education about healthy lifestyles and nutrition. En Frisk Generation works with numerous local clubs and hopes to engage the community by holding the sessions in public places to encourage spontaneous participation.
