Outdoor Fun for Health: RYHEALTH Movement Day with Outdoor Against Cancer (OAC) and Campus di Monaco (CdM)
On September 25, the Utopia Adventure Playground in Munich transformed into a vibrant arena of movement for the first RYHEALTH Movement Day. Over 120 students from grades 1 to 6 at Campus di Monaco (CdM) joined forces with Outdoor Against Cancer (OAC) for an action-packed day, discovering just how exciting and varied physical activity can be.
A standout attraction was the seven-meter climbing tower: whether girls, boys, or teachers – everyone geared up for a secure ascent into the heights, showing full commitment. Each participant pushed their boundaries, rewarded with proud, beaming smiles. The enthusiasm was palpable:
“Today was my first time climbing. At first, I thought the tower was way too high and I couldn’t do it. But now, I feel so proud and want to go up again!” – Student, 3rd grade, CdM.
But RYHEALTH Movement Day offered more than just climbing fun: participants tried out activities like football, hula hooping, juggling, and frisbee, sharing in adventurous sports together. OAC provided not only the variety of activities but also connected physical movement with valuable health insights.
A water station shared surprising facts with the students about the water content in the human body and various foods. Many were amazed to learn that even 7-year-old children should drink one and a half liters of water daily.
After four hours filled with movement, healthy food, fresh air, and inspiring lessons on water, the body, and wellbeing, everyone returned to school both happy and exhausted. The first RYHEALTH Movement Day proved a resounding success and an experience to remember.
This day truly embodied the four pillars of the RYHEALTH Project: The Activity Project, The Food Project, The Happiness Project, and The Sustainability Project. Together, OAC and CdM brought the core mission of the RYHEALTH Project to life – health promotion and prevention that inspires and moves.
The RYHEALTH Project unites six partners from four European countries, including CdM and OAC, with the goal of creating a holistic approach to health for students, teachers, and families, supporting greater wellbeing and preventive health in an engaging way.
