Going Out for Health 3 programme builds on Ven for Health 2 and further develops and implements the content of the Going Out for Health - Expert basis for designing green spaces to promote physical activity of the population (UIRS 2017-2019) project and its outputs, in particular the general guidelines and the Going Out for Health Handbook. The programme focuses on raising awareness, informing and educating both municipalities and regions on the importance, possibilities and ways to ensure adequate provision of green spaces for regular, daily physical activity of the population as a healthy lifestyle.
The programme aims to provide municipalities with the most useful and practical expert support in the provision and planning of high-quality, equitably usable and accessible green spaces, of an adequate size and spatial distribution, that enable and encourage physical activity.
The programme will provide training and advice workshops to provide expert support in finding practical solutions to the various problems and challenges faced by municipalities in planning green spaces for physical activity and healthy lifestyles. The programme is aimed at several different audiences, including spatial planners and decision-makers in municipalities and regions across Slovenia, as well as other municipal services and organisations within local communities working in the field of public health, healthy environment and physical activity. The programme will also seek to strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation to improve conditions and measures to facilitate and promote physical activity and health at a municipal level.
