Exercise barrels for schools: health promotion in the Donau-Ries district!
The Donau-Ries district takes the topic of health seriously and impressively shows how important it is to promote an active lifestyle. Claudia Marb, a driving force behind the region's health initiatives, is at the forefront of creating living conditions that encourage citizens to live more health-conscious lives. “ Donau-Ries currently “ reports that one of the main goals is to promote a healthy lifestyle and make exercise enjoyable.
An outstanding example is the introduction of the “movement barrels”, which were initiated in collaboration by the AOK Donau-Ries, the GesundheitregionPlus Donau-Ries and the AWV Nordschwaben. These exercise barrels are intended to arouse enthusiasm for physical activity, especially among school children, and support a healthy lifestyle.
TONS of movement for schools
In March this year, schools in the area were encouraged to apply for the exercise bins. A total of five exercise bins were raffled off for 2025. The lucky winners include:
- Graf-Heinrich-Grundschule Kaisheim
- Grundschule Oettingen
- Volksschule Megesheim
- Mangold-Schule Donauwörth
- Realschule St. Ursula Donauwörth
Particularly noteworthy is the Mangold primary school in Donauwörth, which was able to secure one of the exercise-promoting bins. Julia Lux, office manager of the Gesundheitregionplus district of Donau-Ries, highlights the numerous advantages: “Exercise not only plays a crucial role in health, but also has a positive effect on learning and reduces stress.”
Commitment and support
In addition to the raffle for the exercise bins, the AOK offers financial project support as part of the “Healthy Community” initiative. This approach aims to support local health measures and strengthen the long-term health of the population. Michaela Kluger expressed the desire to support the district even more in shaping and improving health living conditions and emphasized how important such initiatives are, especially in times when obesity and high blood pressure are above average.
The committed work in the Donau-Ries district shows that it is not just about combating health problems, but above all about promoting healthy lifestyles. Activities like the exercise barrels are a welcome opportunity to awaken the joy of exercise and increase awareness of your own health.
