Health Action Weeks 2025: Start your life fit in Bayreuth!
There is great anticipation for the Health Action Weeks 2025 in Bayreuth! It starts on September 7th in the sports park under the motto “Longevity begins with you”. The focus here is on individual responsibility for one’s own health. The broad program aims to motivate people of all ages to become active and deal with topics such as exercise, nutrition and mental balance. Wiesentbote reports that many of the events are free and some require registration.
The opening event promises to be a highlight: numerous hands-on activities and sports stations are planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the Bayreuth Sports Festival. Whether quickstep or climbing, everyone can try something new here. As part of this campaign, the constant efforts to promote health in the region, which are supported by many regional partners such as the Evangelisches Bildungswerk, the University of Bayreuth and local sports clubs, become visible.
A variety of events await
The campaign week program shows how versatile health promotion can be. From September 9th, residents can expect a special exhibition entitled “Self-education for health”, which will be on display in the RW21 city library and the Bayreuth adult education center until October 16th. The curator Myriam Bayer, a psychological psychotherapist and yoga teacher, will accompany the opening on September 9th at 4:30 p.m. together with Mayor Thomas Ebersberger. Visitors have the opportunity to take part in an active tour of the exhibition, which is based on ideas from Heinz Grill.
A look at the upcoming events shows the breadth of the offerings: Visual and cognitive training starts on September 10th in the Bayreuth district office, followed by a forest health training in the Bad Berneck spa park on September 14th. Creative offerings also find their place, such as the reading “The Fatal Shortening of the World” on September 18th in the Evangelisches Bildungswerk. In addition, a “Strong and relaxed” course will be offered on September 29th, which will focus on stress management at the Bayreuth Adult Education Center.
Mental Health Week
As part of the action weeks, the Mental Health Week, which will take place across Germany from October 10th to 20th, will also draw attention to the needs of young people with psychological problems. The motto “Let confidence grow – mentally strong into the future” is particularly relevant because the current COPSY study by the University Hospital of Hamburg shows that children and young people in Germany are doing worse than in the years before the corona pandemic. The Bayreuth district and the social psychiatric service of the Diakonie will actively participate during this time and will also announce a creative competition under the motto “Class.Community.Strong! – Mastering stress and problems together”.
If you would like to find out more about the offers and information about the events, you can now take a look at the complete programs on the website www.region-bayreuth.de. The initiatives not only illustrate the commitment of local actors, but also support the goals of health promotion and prevention in Germany, which have been gaining in importance for years. The Federal Agency for Civic Education highlights how important such regional activities are for a healthy society.
The Health Weeks in Bayreuth are a wonderful opportunity to actively take your own health into your own hands and work towards a healthy life. Let's get it done!
