Ongoing projects

Through the “Bewegungsbande” project, the University of Kassel, the City of Kassel, Techniker Krankenkasse Hessen, and numerous sports clubs are joining forces to integrate more physical activity into the daily lives of children and adolescents, thereby promoting their health and social participation in a sustainable way.

The goal of the project is to structurally and sustainably embed additional daily physical activity into the lives of children and adolescents. The focus is particularly on daycare centers, schools, and sports clubs, as well as on fostering collaboration among these stakeholders within each neighborhood. The central focus is on promoting a childhood and adolescence characterized by physical activity and good health.

With our project "Get Up . Stand Up . Move Up" in cooperation with our "Psychology and Society" department and the "Education and Teaching" department with Task and the TSG Wilhelmshöhe e.V. handball youth development association, we have created an initially digital offering for children of primary school age, which will be continued as a hybrid format from April. The aim is to encourage children to exercise regularly, even during lockdown and the pandemic, and to learn about the possibilities and limitations of the digital world.

This toolbox on sustainability and cycling is a collection of tasks and materials developed specifically for schools to comprehensively address the topic of cycling in a school context. This toolkit has been designed with a clear motivation, specific goals and milestones to give pupils a holistic understanding of sustainable mobility.
