to lifestyle diseases that can affect the whole family.
Through Move by FCR, we hope to create a
movement, both in the form of greater physical
activity among the target groups and by promoting
a holistic approach to physical, mental and social
health. The intention is to disseminate knowledge
about the decisive role physical activity and an
active lifestyle play in preventing lifestyle diseases.
By focusing on children, youths and their mothers,
we hope to use preventive measures and knowledge
to create change in vulnerable target groups. We
will achieve this through our own activities as well
as those of our partners, such as schools and other
social actors in the district.
We will also arrange spontaneous activities in
order to reach more children and families who are
not currently active in the club.
