Healthy Life Week

In September 2024, the municipality of Oslo organised “Healthy Life Week” , which is a week featuring various outdoor activities arranged by the municipality. The PhD student in the University of Oslo team seized this opportunity to participate in an organised walk for older adults in an area with freshwater. One of the guides had a background in biology and informed the participants about the animal life in both the fresh water and the related green areas. All the participants showed enthusiasm and shared stories about how they used the blue and the related green area in their everyday lives. The stories from the older adults will be part of the PhD student’s data material.
