Get fit project

With the help of the ESF Get fit project, unemployed people are activated and trained towards working life through exercise and health/wellness education. As a rule, the project is carried out as individual guidance, where the effort is put into strengthening the client's mental and physical well-being and, accordingly, raising the unemployed person's self-esteem. The goal of the project is to get unemployed people to become more active in their own well-being and at the same time gain self-confidence to improve the problems in their own lives. Another goal of the project is to increase one's ability to work and at the same time to apply back to working life. The cooperation between the Savonlinnan Seudun Liikunta and those involved in employment and well-being in the Savonlinna region has been strengthened and new ways of cooperation have emerged. As a result of the project, a model is emerging for how the Savonlinnan Seudun Liikunta can act more widely in the Savonlinna region as a support service for the well-being of the unemployed, offering individual and group-based well-being counselling
