VISION 2030
THE WORLD'S MOST PHYSICALLY ACTIVE COUNTRY
#Aalasa
GIF has a vision for Greenland to become the World's Most Physically Active Country by 2030. Here is a brief summary of our efforts to support the vision over the first four years.
THE DREAMPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE
We envision a population that is physically active from cradle to grave. This means that we will focus on all aspects of life: from nurseries, playgroups and schools to workplaces, leisure activities and retirement. By strengthening the interest in movement and physical activity, we strengthen our society and increase the possibilities and opportunities for living a good life.
