Active: AWO Saxony-Anhalt promotes health for kids!

Wittenberg, Deutschland - The AWO Saxony-Anhalt sets a strong sign of health and community with its event "Awo moved 2025". From June 30 to September 7, 2025, all sports enthusiasts have the opportunity to become active and at the same time support social projects. This initiative ensures that every kilometer that is covered when running, cycling or hiking is converted into valuable donations for children and young adults. Magdeburger News reports that everyone who wants to participate should register on the website [AWO-Sachsen-Anhalt] (https://www.awo-sachsenhalt.de/awo- moves)

Participation in "Awo moving" is free, but registration is necessary. In this way, the participants can digitally record their sporting activities via the Strava app. Tracking is moved in a special club called #awo -moved, which serves not only for recording, but also for networking among the participants. Every kilometer that is recorded on Strava contributes to a good cause while you stay fit at the same time and strengthen the community. A free account is required to use the Strava app and the app is available for both Android and iOS devices. To ensure visibility, you should also put the privacy settings on "all".

Funding projects in the focus

The AWO has also come up with some remarkable donation projects that are funded as part of “Awo Moving 2025”. Here is an overview of the most important projects:

• AWO Kids moves: Support for children of the AWO day group Gardelegen, with goals such as strengthening self -confidence and community feeling. The highlight is a joint trip to the Magdeburg trampoline park.
• connected by movement: in the AWO Kita "Borstel" in Wittenberg, a natural tunnel is built to promote children's social interaction and motor skills.
• bike instead of withdrawal: This is about the purchase of bicycles for young people with addiction in the AWO RPK in Sotterhausen to promote their mobility and social participation.

These projects show how diverse the positive effects of movement and community are. By becoming active and converting their sporting performance into kilometers, they not only bring themselves into shape, but also support children in need.

The digital dimension of health promotion

"Awo moved" also goes over time and uses digital funds for health promotion. The participants can easily grasp their progress via the Strava app and share them with others. This appeals to the trend of digitization in prevention and health promotion, which is becoming increasingly important, as [Bioeg] (https://leit terms.bioeg.de/alphabetisches-bistei/digitalization-in-prarevention-und-gesundheitfoerderung/). This includes not only apps, but also modern technologies such as voice assistants and wearables that all aim to increase health awareness. Through these digital offers, people can now access resources that have a positive impact on their health behavior.

Through community and movement you can not only increase your own fitness, but also do something good.
