Movement companion in the Kyffhäuserkreis: Funding for seniors

Kyffhäuserkreis. This week there are essential reports, events and developments that affect the Kyffhäuserkreis. From initiatives to promote senior citizens' activity to cultural events, here are the current information that you should not miss.

A significant event recently took place in the house at the Kurpark in Bad Frankenhausen: a training course for prospective movement companions. 22 people were trained in a course to support the support of the mobility and everyday movement of seniors. This training was organized by the Agathe project, in cooperation with the State Sports Association of Thuringia and the State Association for Health Promotion "AGEHUR".

movement companion: funding for seniors

The training aims to help older people through active movement offers to age healthy and reduce social isolation. The participants learn how to establish movement offers in their communities in order to achieve more seniors. The promotion of fitness and community activities not only aims at physical health, but also supports the mental strength of the participants. The movement companions should therefore play an important role in promoting vitality and joie de vivre.

If you are interested in movement offers or have any questions, you can contact Agathe advice directly on 03632/741678.

Another important topic affects the city archive in Sondershausen. Due to the absence-related absence of illness and vacation, the archive remains closed until further notice. On September 4, however, it will open its doors to interested visitors again. The opening times are on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The number (03632) 665 4402 is available for telephone inquiries.

funding and network day

There are interesting news for local projects: From now on, LEADER funding applications can be submitted to the regional management of the regional campaign group Kyffhäuser. This initiative is looking for projects that advance development in rural areas and improve the quality of life on site. Projects that deal with strengthening and marketing regional products are particularly in demand, since this topic will be the focus in 2025.

In order to make access to the funding easier, public lectures take place in which the application procedure and the necessary documents are explained. The next opportunity to find out about the funding opportunities will be on August 29 at 5 p.m. in the fire brigade in Ebeleben. These events are aimed primarily at municipal representatives and private applicants such as clubs or individuals.

Another Highlight in the Kyffhäuserkreis is the upcoming network day for start -ups and companies. This will take place on September 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the BIC in Sondershausen. Here entrepreneurs have the opportunity to get advice free of charge. Experts from institutions such as the IHK Erfurt and the Employment Agency are available for personal discussions. However, a prior appointment is required by September 4, 2024.

For all cinema lovers there will be a free film screening in Cinema 64 in Sondershausen on September 1st. On the occasion of the anti -war day, the film "Oppenheimer" is shown, which is reminiscent of the beginning of the Second World War. Admission is free and registration is not necessary.

Culturally also culturally is offered in the Kyffhäuserkreis. On August 31, an event of the Kulturland Hainleite association will take place in the Kunsthof Friedrichsrode, in which the play "The Hotel im Karusell" is performed by Rumpel Pumpel Theater. Admission to this is also free of charge.

diverse offers and leisure opportunities

The leisure activities are not neglected. The Hainleite hiking club offers hikes that are a nice way to enjoy nature and be active. On August 28, the short hikers drive to Großfurra while the senior citizens leave to Limlingerode.

All in all, the Kyffhäuserkreis offers a variety of events and activities that serve both health and cultural education. It remains to be seen how the initiatives will develop to promote movement offers and the upcoming events.

Health promotion in Kyffhäuserkreis. The Kyffhäuserkreis increasingly relies on health promotion for seniors in order to increase their quality of life and take their mobility into account in everyday life. This initiative is supported by various programs and training courses that are specifically geared towards the needs of older people.

In particular, the training of the movement companions in the house at the Kurpark in Bad Frankenhausen shows how important the approach of preventive health promotion is. Seniors benefit not only from better physical health conditions, but also from social interaction and increased emotional well -being.

The role of movement attendants in society

Movement attendants fulfill an important function in society, especially in the context of a changing demographic profile. The population structure shows that the number of older people in Germany is steadily increasing. According to the Federal Statistical Office, over 22 % of the population were 65 or older in 2022. This also includes challenges in the field of health care and social integration.

The formation of movement attendants should address these challenges. The companions support older people in maintaining their mobility and fitness, which not only serves physical health, but can also reduce social isolation. In a world in which loneliness is a growing problem among seniors, movement offers can give decisive impulses.

health statistics on the quality of life of older people

Current statistics show that regular physical activity has a positive impact on the quality of life of seniors. According to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO), physical activities are not only important for physical health, but also play a crucial role in the prevention of chronic diseases. In addition, it was found that active seniors report better psychological well -being and higher life satisfaction.

A survey that commissioned the German Society for Geriatrics showed that over 60 % of the seniors surveyed state that they feel fitter and more active after participating in regular movement groups. It is emphasized that the social contact that arises in these groups also contributes significantly to better well -being.

cultural and leisure activities as social integrators

The commitment of clubs and communities, as the example of the Weimar art festival shows, is of great importance. Such events create opportunities for exchange and interaction, which in turn benefits society. Awareness of the importance of social activities is an important step in the right direction.
