Healthy living

An active life style, a varied diet, sustainable social relations and a supporting community is vital for a healthy living.

A key objective of National Danish Performance Team is to motivate people to move as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Through the engaging workshops and the amazing performances the team encourages everyone to embrace the message of Sport for All and the global message of healthy living.

Health issues should be a natural and integrated part of our everyday life. For the Danish athletes this is obvious – and therefore National Danish Performance Team will spread the message of the health benefits of simple, modest improvements in physical activity, nutrition and behavior.

A visit from NDPT

A typical visit of the NDPT includes workshops for youth and adults focused on empowering people to move, dance, exercise, eat right and play well. These workshops include dance, jumping, tumbling, balance, and basic
fitness – with unique Danish style and all-inclusivity.

The culmination of a visit to a city is an inspiring performance by the team. This performance can be a catalyst for action – bringing together many members of the community at a high profile media event, and offering opportunities for fundraising and awareness raising.

An important message

The Danish athletes are not professionals just ordinary, though skillful Danish youth on an extra ordinary tour.

From home and on the tour they know the importance of having physical training, a healthy diet, rest, exhausting performances and just being young to balance. They will know how to address this important message to their peers - they live it and they love it.

Each of them know the importance of bringing communities together to celebrate the joy and benefits of movement, exercise and activity which can prevent diabetes, obesity, heart disease and other life style related
illnesses.
