Active together: AWO Saxony-Anhalt promotes health for kids!
With its “AWObewegt 2025” event, AWO Saxony-Anhalt is sending a strong signal for health and community. From June 30th to September 7th, 2025, all sports enthusiasts have the opportunity to get active and support social projects at the same time. This initiative ensures that every kilometer covered while running, cycling or hiking is converted into valuable donations for children and young adults. Magdeburger News reports that anyone who wants to take part should register via the website AWO-Sachsen-Anhalt.
Participation in “AWObewegt” is free, but registration is required. This allows participants to digitally record their sporting activities via the Strava app. The tracking takes place in a special club called #AWObewegt, which is not only used for recording but also for networking among the participants. Every kilometer recorded on Strava contributes to a good cause while staying fit and strengthening 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 set the privacy settings to “All”.
Focus on funding projects
The AWO has also come up with some remarkable donation projects that are supported as part of “AWObewegt 2025”. Here is an overview of the most important projects:
- AWO Kids bewegt: Unterstützung für Kinder der AWO Tagesgruppe Gardelegen, mit Zielen wie der Stärkung von Selbstvertrauen und Gemeinschaftsgefühl. Höhepunkt ist ein gemeinsamer Ausflug in den Trampolinpark Magdeburg.
- Durch Bewegung verbunden: In der AWO Kita „Borstel“ in Wittenberg wird ein naturnaher Erdtunnel gebaut, um soziale Interaktion und motorische Fähigkeiten der Kinder zu fördern.
- Rad statt Rückzug: Hier geht es um die Anschaffung von Fahrrädern für junge Menschen mit Suchterkrankungen in der AWO RPK in Sotterhausen, um ihre Mobilität und soziale Teilhabe zu fördern.
These projects show how diverse the positive effects of exercise and a sense of community are. By becoming active and converting their sporting achievements into kilometers, participants not only get themselves in shape, but also support children in need.
The digital dimension of health promotion
“AWObewegt” also moves with the times and uses digital means to promote health. Participants can easily record and share their progress with others using the Strava app. This speaks to the trend of digitalization in prevention and health promotion, which is becoming increasingly important, as Bioeg shows. This includes not only apps, but also modern technologies such as voice assistants and wearables, all of which aim to increase health awareness. Thanks to these digital offerings, people can now more easily access resources that positively influence their health behavior.
Through community and exercise you can not only improve your own fitness, but also do something good. So if you want to get moving and be socially involved, you should quickly register on the AWO Sachsen-Anhalt website. All these adventures and contributions to promoting health are just waiting for you to take part!
