Hemsö 🧡 En Frisk Generation
Hemsö is partnering with En frisk generation to create joy of movement and community among children and their families in Tensta! Twice a week, En frisk generation will be present in Pilparken to offer children and parents physical activity, parental support, knowledge about food and social interaction.
“It is important for us at Hemsö to help promote public health, not least among children. The collaboration with En Frisk Generation gives more children in Tensta the opportunity to exercise for free. We also hope that this will lead to more people getting involved in the rich association life that Tensta has to offer,” says Nils Styf, CEO of Hemsö.
En Frisk Generation is looking forward to a long-term collaboration with Hemsö.
“The fact that Hemsö chooses to support us means that we can reach even more people with our efforts. We know that what we do is important and that it has an effect. Widespread sedentary behaviour among children is a global challenge that we must all take seriously,” says Thomas Kanestad, Secretary General of A Healthy Generation.”
The activities in Tensta are run by young group leaders. They come from the neighbourhood and have a strong drive to contribute and to make a change. One of the group leaders, Esra 18 years old, says: “I want Tensta to be a neighbourhood full of laughter, life and movement.“
All children, with or without adults, are welcome on Thursdays at 16.30-17.30 and Saturdays at 12-13. Of course it’s free and we offer fruit afterwards!
