Objectives
The health promotion project "Healthy Kids" is part of the WiG programme "Healthy Districts". Together with partners from the field of open youth work, we carry out the „Kinder-Gesundheitsstraße“ or the „WOW! Wohlfühlen in Wien“ project in nine Viennese districts. We aim to
- support children in working out the meaning of health in their environment,
- transfer knowledge in the field of health promotion,
- strengthen partnerships and
- transfer the project experiences to stakeholders within and without the participating districts.
The project targets kids and young people (between 6 and 12 years old) and staff members in the context of open youth and leisure work.
