INTRODUCTION

Six out of ten children at the age of 7 are not able to do a somersault. 25 Percent of the 6 - 12 year old children are overweight and suffer from cardiovascular diseases. These are the facts. Reason enough to encourage and motivate the young to be more physically active.

What most people don't know is that a lack of excercise does not only harm your body, but also your soul. Possible outcomes are anxiety, depressions, a reduced physical capacity or frustration, to only name a few.

A worrying and alarming fact is: young people are less and less willing to make extraordinary efforts and show individual responsibility for their achievements.

FIT4FUTURE ACTIVITY DAYS

The Cleven-Becker-Foundation and the WWF Switzerland are inviting kids all over Switzerland to join them at the "Fit4Future Activity Days" in Thun. Everyday from Monday to Friday, three classes will be spending an exciting, active and informative day in Thun.

The day will be filled with exciting activities, offered from the Cleven-Becker-Foundation, and the kids will have the possibility to get to know and be inspired by some of the world's best paddlers personally.
