The program aims to encourage citizens to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle while revitalizing public spaces through organized sports and recreational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program will run for five months, from May to October, with a break in August. Most activities begin this week, on May 4, while some \u2014 such as the program in \u010cavle \u2014 have already launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citizens of all ages will have access to free outdoor exercise sessions led by licensed trainers. In addition to standard recreational activities, select locations will offer programs such as Nordic walking, dance sessions, chi kung tai chi, and beach volleyball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Activities will take place in public spaces including squares, parks, promenades, and beaches, bringing sport and recreation into citizens’ everyday surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the recreational component, organizers have issued a call for student sports ambassadors to assist with on-site implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Student ambassadors will be responsible for setting up promotional materials, coordinating participants, assisting with exercises, motivating attendees, keeping records, and documenting events through photography. Organizers are offering \u20ac10 per hour, flexible shifts of one to two hours per activity, the opportunity to work across multiple county locations, and a certificate of participation upon completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
