In 2018, Generation Pep launched the school initiative Pep Skola (Pep School) - the digital and free tool, which supports schools in working with physical activity and healthy eating habits as a natural and integrated part of the school day. During the fall of 2020, it was also opened up for schools to be certified Generation Pep Schools - and now we can proudly present all the schools that achieve certification for the year 2024.
All certified schools receive a flag to raise and a diploma from Generation Pep, signed by Generation Pep's operations manager Carolina Klüft and Prince Daniel.

Daniel delivered Generation Pep's "Årets peppare" Prize to Hej främling at the Sports Gala this evening.

He said at his speech among other things:
"We know sport in so many different ways. We feel it in the dressing room when you put on the match shirt, we feel it when we sit in the stands or sit and freeze on a windy sports field and watch our children. It is community, joy, big dreams, identity and so much more.
But if we are to continue to be able to enjoy elite sports and take part in your fine performances, we have to move up. Today, only two out of ten children in Sweden move enough every day. Here we have a proper homework to do. And it is us adults who bear the responsibility for how bad things look today. But also we who can make sure that it looks good tomorrow".

Today is 31st January and Generation Pep's seventh Up and Jump, Sweden! -day.
Generation Pep launched on 31st January 2018 the national campaign "Upp och hoppa, Sverige" (Up and Jump, Sweden) against sedentary and to get people move more. This year, they are focusing a little extra on finding occasions in everyday life when we can all have time for a movement break.

Generation Pep's operations manager Carolina Klüft shows how you find time for Up and Jump in your everyday life.
 
Daniel had today a meeting with Generation Pep and representatives from Svenskt Friluftsliv (Swedish Outdoor Life) and Friluftsfrämjandet (Swedish Outdoor Association). Carolina Klüft, operations manager of Generation Pep, attended also the meeting.
The Royal Court tells about the meeting:
The long-term vision for Allemansrättens Day (The Day of the Right of the Public Access) and planning for Allemansrättens Day on September 20, 2024 were discussed.
The Right of the Public Access is a prerequisite for Sweden's rich and active outdoor life. To draw attention to this, Generation Pep and Svenskt Friluftsliv, with the support of RevolutionRace, have instituted Allemansrätten's Day, on September 20 each year.

Daniel participated yesterday in a meeting at the Karolinska Institutet with a focus on the health of children and young people. Daniel, KI's president Annika Östman Wernerson and representatives from Generation Pep and En Frisk Generation discussed continued collaborations to get more children and young people to live an active and healthy life.
Daniel, Generation Pep's initiator, is an honorary doctor at the Karolinska Institutet due to his long-term commitment to public health.
 
Generation Pep has published its annual report 2023. Operations manager Carolina Klüft writes: I am extremely proud to have been operations manager at Generation Pep for another year, and in that role to lead our team which, together with all our partners, really advances the positions on the issue of children and young people's physical health.

At the report it is told among other things:
To increase knowledge about the connection between physical activity and healthy food and children's and young people's health Generation Pep has with the support of researchers at the School of Sports and Health Sciences, University of Gothenburg and Karolinska Institutet produced a free online training course: Sweden should feel better - an education about children's and youth health. The online course is aimed to adults who meet children in their everyday lives. Since the education was launched in 2023, 3110 people have passed the training. In 2023, work began on developing a new online education to be launched in 2024, directed to children and young people in middle school and upper secondary school and aims to provide a holistic perspective on health and what is needed during a day to feel good.

The Steering Group of Generation Pep:
HRH The Crown Princess, HRH Prince Daniel, Elin Annwall (operations manager of the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation), Klas Balkow, Oscar Boldt-Christmas, Eva Carlheim, Håkan Lundstedt and Carl Johan Sundberg.
 
The research group Cultural Medicine at the Department of LIME at Karolinska Institutet hosted PRAO students from the International School of Kungsholmen last December.
Yaroslav Suprun and Jonas Ekstam participated in lectures on physical health and were also invited on 7th December to the Royal Palace and met Victoria and Daniel at Generation Pep's event.
 
Generation Pep's Pep Ambassador Fanny Ahlfors inspires exercise and movement on Tiktok and social media. She has been commissioned to create activities for children and young people during the Easter holidays by Prince Daniel.

Children and young people are most sedentary during holidays and weekends. That's why we want to inspire people to enjoy movement with the Pep Kilometer campaign. The Easter break is approaching and with it the first Pep Kilometer of the year. This year it will be extra fun because you get to do the Pep Kilometer together with our ambassador Fanny. You will be given every day an assignment on something you must find during the time you run, cycle, roll or walk your Pep kilometer.
 
Young people in rural areas have less access to leisure activities, meeting places and basic community services such as school, public transport and healthcare than young people in cities have. We want to change that with the project Landsbygdens röster, which was made possible thanks to support from the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation.

Arla, Generation Pep and Rädda Barnen (Save the Children Sweden) in new school breakfast collaboration
As part of the initiative, a digital tool ”Frukosteffekten” is launched to help more schools get started with serving breakfast.
In Generation Pep's 2023 report, half of teenagers stated that they didn't eat breakfast every day and 11 % answered that they didn't eat breakfast at all. Children in families with higher incomes eat breakfast to a greater extent every day, compared to children in families with lower incomes.
- In the work with Pep School, Generation Pep gives schools support introducing more physical activity and healthy eating habits during the school day. Our hope is that Frukosteffekten can contribute to more schools offering breakfast, says Carolina Klüft, operations manager at Generation Pep.
 
Generation Pep published its sixth Pep Report on Wednesday April 10.
Only 3 % of Sweden's children and young people eat and move in accordance with dietary advice and recommendations. Children in low-income families have less opportunity to eat good food and participate in sports activities. The Pep Report 2024 warns of growing health gaps among children and young people.
The Pep Report is a survey among children and young people in Sweden aged 4–17 about how they move, what they eat and factors around the children that are related to lifestyle habits. The Pep Report 2024 is carried out with the support of the Heart-Lung Foundation. The SOM institute at the University of Gothenburg has carried out the survey. An extra focus is this year placed on economic conditions, on which the National Association of Mayflower was also included as an advisor in the report.

The Pep Report

Generation Pep's operations manager Carolina Klüft was interviewed about the report on TV4's News morning on Wednesday.
 
The press in Sweden and abroad has noticed widely Daniel's speech last week at a seminar. He quoted Generation Pep's Pep Report and spoke about that the health of children and young people has long been a class issue. Children of low-income earners have fewer leisure activities than children of parents with higher incomes. The children who live in financial security eat better and get more fish, fruit and vegetables.
Daniel wants more people to pay attention to Generation Pep's warning and the negative development and realize that the situation for the children is urgent. He said at his speech among other things:
"Children must be allowed to grow up into healthy adults and feel like an asset in society, not a burden on the healthcare system".
"We have to stop fixing what's broken and make sure it doesn't break from the beginning. A team that only loses has to change something in its game in order to win. A company that does not make money must change its strategy or it will go bankrupt. Why should we take it easy on our children's health?"
Exceptionally heavy words from Prince Daniel - this is what he is worried about

Carolina Klüft, operations manager and Malin J-son Höök, project manager at Generation Pep, presented Generation Pep's Pep Report at a webinar last week:

FUZED in Almedalen together with Generation Pep - public health and gaming in focus
A new report shows that 80 % of today's young people move too little. FUZED wants to highlight this during this year's Almedalen and launches therefore Clubhouse, an innovative arena with a focus on public health and gaming, in collaboration with Generation Pep. The goal is to arrange seminars that promote discussion about how we ensure that all children and young people have the opportunity to live an active and healthy life.

The Nöt & Grönt hamburger is launched in collaboration with Generation Pep, which works for better health for young people. It is the second product that Axfood and Generation Pep are launching together, against the background that only four out of ten Swedish children and young people - according to the latest and completely fresh Pep report 2024 - eat vegetables every day, and that precisely nutritious and healthy food is crucial for children's development and health.

"We gathered around 30 creators to talk about how together we can gather strength and strengthen the health of our children and young people. H.R.H. Prince Daniel began the day about the importance of more of us trying to bring about a shift in norms where exercise and health become the rule and not the exception."

"A fantastically nice lunch and chat

This is a prerequisite for us to have healthy, happy and long-lived citizens and to be able to afford the expensive care of the future. Thank you to the Crown Princess Couple for your work and nice lunch at Haga Palace, and thank you to all the ambassadors — including the running king Mickey — and partners for your important work."

Viktor Frisk, Vivvi Wallin and Liam Kalevi are now part of Generation Pep's new creative advisory group.
Emma Blomdahl Wahlberg, Generation Pep's communications manager, says that GP has advisory groups consisting of researchers or other experts to help strengthen the organization's work, but that this was missing for the creative work. Instead of having to depend on agencies, they can now have experts, who meet the target group directly on their own platforms on a daily basis.
The advisory group, which in addition to Frisk, Wallin and Kalevi, consists of Marcus Börjel and Benjamin Hailemariam, experts in digital communication and marketing, will primarily focus on providing feedback and advice regarding GP's communication campaigns.
Daniel attended on 15 May at an event, where the new advisory group was presented.
 
To reach Swedish schools with health-promoting tools in an even better way, Generation Pep's free digital tools are now available via Skolon's platform.
Generation Pep was founded because there was a need for a joint force working for the physical health of children and young people. In it's network there are hundreds of companies and many ambassadors, as well as schools and preschools all over Sweden that actively work with Generation Pep's various tools.
- We live in a time where the health of children and young people is more important than ever to prioritize and therefore it feels very valuable to collaborate with Generation Pep, says Skolon CEO Oliver Lundgren.
 
Generation Pep's operations manager, Olympic Champion Carolina Klüft (heptathlon 2004) got to bear the olympic torch in the final stage.

Carolina Klüft is one of MAX Sweden's expert commentators at the Olympic Games. She tells at her Instagram that clothes are not her big interest so she is all the more grateful to have professional help from a stylist, and presents some of the outfits she has worn during the broadcasts.
 
In February 2023, Generation Pep's online education "Sweden shall be better" was released, a free education for adults about the connection between physical activity and healthy food and the health of children and young people. Today, a new online course "My best day" is released on the same theme, but this time it is aimed at students in mellanstadiet (grades 4–6) and högstadiet (grades 7–9) with the goal of giving students knowledge to create the conditions for a good balance in life. A unique education, which is intended to be carried out during school hours, where students gain knowledge of how young people can think about their day in order to achieve the best possible balance.
Generation Pep is behind the training, in close collaboration with and fact-checked by researchers at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet.
 
Today is Generation Pep's Pep Day and Prince Daniel's Race in Haga Park. One of my absolutely favourite days of the year!

The weather is great, about 25 degrees.
All children are welcome to run, roll or walk at Prince Daniel's Race, you choose what suits you best, bring your social support with you which can be mother, father, personal assistant. someone you simply feel safe with.
Children born 2012-2021 can participate in Prince Daniel's Race, where all participants are winners and receive a medal. It is completely free to participate. Children in the youngest age group (born 2019-2021) must run with a guardian.
Children with disabilities are warmly welcome to Prince Daniel's Race in all age groups with social support. The track layout is adapted to the best ability to make the race accessible to everyone who wants to participate.
The track is located in the middle of Haga Park's grass field. 1 round is approx. 550 meters. For the youngest, the races are approx. 400 meters.

Map over the area today, a lot of various sports to the children to try to!

Expressen interviewed Daniel, video and photos
- This day is about inspiring, encouraging movement and for the children to cross thresholds. Only two out of ten children exercise enough every day. We must do more. We must have a clear strategy on how we as a country are going to get out of this crisis of being sedentary. It is easy to point to what others should do, but you can think what do I do? What can I do based on my role as a parent, teacher or fellow human being to inspire others to create the conditions.
Children tried different sports, such as fencing, boules, table tennis and dancing. Oscar also took on several activities, he can be seen playing boules, mini golf and table tennis. At the same time Estelle is with her mother and grandmother at the Paralympics.
Daniel is asked if Oscar had wished to be in Paris too? Daniel said that he doesn't know, but Oscar is here today so it's fun, he's pep.

Daniel attended the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation's seminar "The importance of safe and meaningful free time for children and young people" at the Bernadotte Library today. Of course Victoria attends usually also, but not this time due to her studies.


The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation about the seminar:
The moderator for the seminar was the well-known journalist and presenter Soraya Lavasani.
Daniel began the seminar by highlighting that each of us has a responsibility to ensure that all young people, regardless of background or circumstances, have access to safe and meaningful free time. Much is already being done today, but that we need to invest in prevention for our children, our future.
The guests had the opportunity to discuss around the tables, and Minister for Social Affairs and Public Health Jakob Forssmed spoke with the moderator about the question of how more people can have access to meaningful free time and what the government is doing to promote it.
 
September 20 is The Day of the Right of the Public Access, a day instituted by Generation Pep and Svenskt Friluftsliv.

"Today I got to lead a seminar on how we create safe and meaningful free time for children and young people, at the initiative of the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation.
I am in awe of how many good forces are at work in our society with the goal of changing and making a difference.
It's a feeling of hope I take with me after today's discussions and talk, thank you very much for that!

 
Today is The Day of the Right of the Public Access, instituted by Generation Pep and Svenskt Friluftsliv.
To mark the day Daniel and Generation Pep's operations manager Carolina Klüft arrived to Örebro (the place where Daniel was born) to carry out a hike and talk about ways to inspire the people of Örebro to find the joy of movement in nature.

Daniel spoke to the press

Daniel and Carolina Klüft came and went on a hike from Lundby's outermost corner, along the edge of the forest, over Vivallakullen, through Hjärstaskogen and up to Baronbackarna. Three hours and 10,000 steps later they, journalists, politicians and a whole bunch of municipal officials ended the day.

The Royal House at its website:
Prince Daniel participated in the Day of the Right of the Public Access, with the aim of increasing knowledge about the Right of the Public Access and inspiring more people to outdoor life.
The hike went through the Öknaskogen nature reserve. During the walk, a stop was made in Hjärstaskogen, where Örebro municipality created a play environment. The day ended at a newly built playground at the Baronbackarna district park.
On the walk were representatives from Örebro Municipality, Örebro County, Region Örebro, RF-SISU Örebro, Naturskyddsföreningen Örebro, Friluftsfrämjandet, Svenskt friluftsliv and Generation Pep as well as partners.

At this photo we see adventurer, motivational speaker and former paralympian-athlete Aron Anderson at his wheelchair. He participates in Generation Pep's work and has been a member of the Årets Peppare Prize jury for many years.

Daniel told to the press on the Day of the Right of the Public Access in Örebro:
- The Right of the Public Access that we have is something unique. That we can roam freely in the forest and land, regardless of who owns the land. It's something we have to protect. But it also comes with obligations. We have to take care of this, make sure we pick up trash after us. I think that people don't do it to the extent that they would like. I grew up with "Keep Sweden tidy". Having done that, it is strange to throw litter on the ground. But now you see litter on the ground everywhere. I think this is something that we need to talk about more.
Victoria and Daniel have transferred the passion for a clean climate and green forests to their children. Estelle and Oscar have many times accompanied on litter picking, something they certainly do without the cameras.
Daniel tells what else they are doing:
- We are out walking in the woods, picnicing and picking berries. We are skiing, hiking. We are real "skogsmullar".

Skogsmulle was created in Sweden by Gösta Frohm in the 1950s, with the intention of bringing children closer to forests and fields, and teaching them to respect nature.

Five years of "Alla Ska Se"
With a strong vision that no child should be prevented from playing and exercising due to visual impairment, Synsam launched "Alla Ska Se" (Everyone should see) initiative in 2019 together with Generation Pep and Essilor. Since then, 62,643 children between the ages of 5 and 12 in the Nordic countries have received free activity glasses, adapted to their individual needs.
Daniel's good friend Håkan Lundstedt, president and CEO of Synsam Group: "Alla Ska Se" is an important initiative for children with visual impairments. Glasses should never be a class issue, and it's heartwarming to hear how the activity glasses really make a difference in children's lives.
Carolina Klüft, operations manager of Generation Pep: Synsam's commitment is a fantastic example of how companies can contribute to real change for the health of children and young people.
