Objectives
The health promotion project "Healthy Kids" was part of the WiG programme "Healthy Districts". Together with partners from the field of open youth work, we carried out the „Kinder-Gesundheitsstraße“ or the „WOW! Wohlfühlen in Wien“ project in nine Viennese districts. We aimed to
- support children in working out the meaning of health in their environment,
- transfer knowledge in the field of health promotion,
- strengthen partnerships and
- transfer the project experiences to stakeholders within and without the participating districts.
The project targeted kids and young people (between 6 and 12 years old) and staff members in the context of open youth and leisure work.

The kids participated actively in the development and realisation of the projects "Kinder-Gesundheitsstraße" and "WOW!“ Wohlfühlen in Wien".
