The theme of Move for health day 2008 was Physical activity for all.
WHO Europe organized an event on physical activity in collaboration with SUHR’S University College on 9th May in Copenhagen.
Institute of public health Murska Sobota was invited to present the part of the program “Let’s live healthier” aimed in promotion of physical activity in local rural communities in Pomurje region in Slovenia.
It was one of four presented programs from Europe, targeting promotion of physical activities in socially disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.
SUHR’S University organized a demonstration of healthy and environment friendly ways of transport like walking and use of public transport. During the pleasant 1, 6 kilometer long walk from WHO office to the SURH’S, participants had the opportunity to discuss about importance of physical activity for health, to get to know each other and to enjoy sunny day at the seaside. The students demonstrated some of broadly accessible and inexpensive arts of physical activities with active involvement of the participants of the event.
