Our Courses

´Our courses are at the heart of Be Strong For Kids. With currently 81 different sports, exercise, and cultural programs, we reach more than 680 children from our partner organizations each week. Our activities range from “Fearless in the Water” to “Stronger Together through Judo” – offering children regular opportunities to move, play, and grow. In short, Be Strong For Kids brings movement into the region, reaching children and young people who especially benefit from a positive break from everyday life – including those who are ill, living with disabilities, or facing social disadvantage. At the centre of everything we do is the joy of movement, shared experiences in groups, and the strengthening of each child’s confidence and self-esteem.

Would you like to support us in further expanding our programes, or are you interested in one of our courses?
