Een mooi voorbeeld hoe een stad een impact wil hebben op de toekomstige leefstijl van haar inwoners.
Guy Van Damme
Dit is hun missie:
“To change the way we do things around here so that that everyone living in Sheffield has the opportunity, environment and human capital to be sufficiently physically active to benefit their health and wealth”
Move More. Connect people who Move More. Change the environment to promote moving. Reward effort. Have Fun. Monitor and feedback progress. Ask others how they Move. Encourage others to copy them. Find something people enjoy. Focus on the times people do Move, not the times they don’t. Point out to people they can move more whilst reading, listening to music, talking with friends, enjoying solitude or social interaction. Make it easy to play Sport, walk to work, walk in work, walk home. Look better, Feel better – that’s the message. Teach new skills. Re-visit old ones. Come Meet people like you. Meet people unlike you. Improve Health. Increase wealth. Create new activities – people might like it, they might not but at least we’ll know. Make moving more easy. No time, encourage people to turn off the TV. 10-minutes more. Sit less – 10 minutes less. Stand up – enjoy the view. Keep it simple. Teach people how to Make a plan A and a plan B. Explain that setbacks are normal, people are human. Let’s start now not Monday. Focus on what people value. Family. Friends. Value and support role models – lots of them not just famous ones – local ones are great too. Help others. Seek help. Save money. Be kind to the Environment. Save the whales – what? Ride Bikes. Walk. Run. Dance. Grow something, reap something. Do something - Move More.
