Victoria and Daniel participated yesterday in Generation Pep's digital webinar on this year's Pep Report.
The report shows that the ongoing covid-19 pandemic has affected how children and young people feel negatively, and that the "lifestyle pandemic" - where we have become increasingly inactive for a long time and eat too little of what the body needs - does not tend to stop.
Daniel began the webinar by saying, among other things:
"Today we are just over a year in a pandemic that has paralyzed large parts of the world. And the health gaps are perhaps clearer than ever. Unfortunately, this is also confirmed by this year's Pep Report, which we will soon hear more about. My reflection when I look at the figures in this year's report is that we need to understand how big this challenge actually is. We can put pointers and sermons aside - they do not help anyone. Instead, let us consider what we can do to encourage and support those who need it. And then get started and do just that."
At the webinar spoke also Kristina Sparreljung, Secretary General of the Heart-Lung Foundation, Carolina Klüft, managing director at Generation Pep, Marie Löf, head of research at Karolinska Institutet, Anders Raustorp, professor of health promotion at the University of Gothenburg and Anette Jansson, expert at the Heart-Lung Foundation.
Marie Löf, Anders Raustorp and Anette Jansson answered also to the audience's questions.

Daniel's speech, he said also
"This summer it is five years since Crown Princess Victoria and I took the initiative for Generation Pep. We saw a worrying development regarding the health of children and young people, and we wanted to gather all good forces to reverse the trend.
Among other things, we saw that there were unacceptable gaps, which meant that children with tougher conditions socially and financially also had a worse health situation."

Happy. Positive. Focused. And always stoked. This is how we usually meet Crown Princess Victoria. Therefore, we hear a little extra over the seriousness of her words this time.
Because she's worried about the kids. Maybe not primarily their own. But all the children who have been so negatively affected during the pandemic.
It was clear when the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel presented this year's PEP report yesterday.

At Facebook of The Heart-Lung Foundation
Carolina Klüft, one of Sweden's foremost athletes of all time and managing director at Generation Pep, shares her best tips for moving more!
1. Do things together with others. With friends, family, etc. Everything becomes more fun together with others!
2. Be outdoors. Outdoor activities usually naturally lead to activities in different ways.
3. Dance! Put on your favorite song and dance for a while.
4. Make fun obstacle courses. Take what you find outside or inside and make an obstacle course. Works well for both large and small.

Daniel had today a digital meeting with the steering group of Generation Pep.

 

[LadyFinn]

Generation Pep's managing director Carolina Klüft has been interviewed by SportExpressen. Carolina has been interviewed at the family's gym, which also serves as an office. Their house is private, not shown to the media.

She is one of Sweden's most successful and noted athletes ever. But now Carolina Klüft, 38, has chosen to live a secluded life in Järvsö.
The former athletics star talks about life as a mother of three, the need to be alone and the new multi-million project with her husband Patrik.
The holiday home Carolina and Patrik Klüft bought a few years ago has been expanded and transformed into a permanent home.
That she sets boundaries and protects her privacy is nothing new. Carolina Klüft is strict about what she shares in public. Above all, it is the three daughters, 6, 3, and 1.5 years old that she wants to keep out of the public eye.
- The day they are big enough to decide for themselves, it is their choice. But until then, it is my and Patrik's responsibility.
Stockholm still plays a part in Carolina's life, she is managing director at Generation Pep which works to improve the health of children and young people and is headquartered in Stockholm. During the pandemic it has mostly been homework but usually she takes the train to Stockholm a couple of days a week. Carolina gets excited when she talks about her job.
- We have unequal health in Sweden. Children and young people have different conditions for good health and there must be a change there, it is an extremely important issue that I am really passionate about.
Despite her full-time job at Generation Pep, Carolina Klüft has more assignments. She has previously been seen in a number of TV contexts, athletics expert at SVT, Viasat and competition programs "Masters of the Masters" and "Superstars". This summer she will be an expert in the studio in Stockholm at Discovery's broadcasts from the Olympics in Tokyo.
Carolina also has a new multi-million project underway. Together with her husband Patrik, another couple from Järvsö and a small travel company, she has bought a large Hälsingegård farm. The old farm is currently under complete renovation and this summer the plan is for "Camp Järvsö" to open.
- You should be able to go here on a long weekend with the family or the girl group, exercise, eat and socialize. There will be running tracks, yoga hall, gym. In the winter you will be able to skate on the lake, swim in the summer.

The country's third Pep Park inaugurated today!
Generation Pep has for some years been working on a concept we call Pep Park. It all started as a project with the city of Solna and Fabege and has since developed into a tool that anyone can adopt. A Pep Park provides children, young people and adults with the conditions for play, movement and everyday exercise together.
On April 27, the third Pep Park was inaugurated and it is located in Råcksta. Behind the park is the property owner Wallenstam.
The park has everything from obstacles to balance, to multifunctional climbing frame and climbing drumline and the opportunity to take time to attract to a fun-filled way to move, play and socialize.

- It's great fun that Wallenstam chooses to build a Pep Park. We know that the whole community must join forces to create better conditions for children and young people to be active, and part is to create more attractive and accessible areas that enable active leisure and where a Pep Park can play an important role, says Carolina Klüft, managing director for Generation Pep.

The first certified Generation Pep schools have been designated
Generation Pep has since 2018 worked with the digital and free tool Pep School, and over 1800 schools have registered. During autumn 2020, the possibility that schools can now become certified Generation Pep schools was opened, and now we can proudly present the schools that are certified for the year 2021.
The schools have developed clear action plans and in a systematic way worked with the entire school in the six different areas that Pep School covers. To be certified, it is required that the schools have highly valued themselves in all areas, and that this covers the entire school and not an individual class or year group. The school's action plans are reviewed by an expert group.
The schools were appointed at the beginning of the year. They have received a flag 'and a diploma from Generation Pep signed by Carolina Klüft and Prince Daniel.

Play, movement, training and everyday exercise. These are the premises for four new type of parks being built in Gothenburg. A press view of Länsmansgården's activity area is on 7th June and representatives from the City of Gothenburg and Generation Pep's managing director Carolina Klüft and Mustafa "Musse" Mohamed, ambassador for Generation Pep will be present.
Two of the activity areas, in Länsmansgården and Biskopsgården, will be so-called Pep Parks. This means that they are part of the concept created by Generation Pep, a non-profit organization which was founded in 2016 on the initiative of the Crown Princess couple.
- It's great that the City of Gothenburg has built two Pep Parks! The whole society must gather strength to create better conditions for people to be active. One part is to create more attractive and accessible areas that make it easier to have an active leisure time and where a Pep Park can play an important role, says Carolina Klüft.

Carolina Klüft new honorary doctor at Sahlgrenska Academy
Former athlete Carolina Klüft has been appointed an honorary doctor of medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg. Her work, inspiring people to adopt an active lifestyle, strengthens the Academy’s research focus on preventing ill health through physical activity.
As a champion heptathlete Carolina Klüft, born 1983, is one of the all-time greats. Since moving on from her successful career as an elite track and field athlete in 2012, she has been busy promoting physical activity among youth. She is operations manager of the organization Generation Pep, which aims to give every child and adolescent in Sweden the opportunity and the will to live an active, healthy life.
Professor Agneta Holmäng, Board Chair and Dean: “Through her work in Generation Pep, Carolina Klüft inspires organizations and individuals alike. And I know she is always meticulous about the information she presents being supported by scientific evidence.”
Carolina Klüft says she feels honored by the award, and sees clear links between the Academy and the work of Generation Pep — an organization that, she points out, was born from research and science.

Generation Pep presents their staff at their Instagram and they give tips for healthy diet, training and moving. The first presentations:

Managing director Carolina Klüft
Hello, managing director Carro here! In the coming weeks, we thought you would get to know us who work at Generation Pep a little better and get to take part in some of our best summer tips! First out is myself, so now we drive! ⁠
My best summer tip is a game we called Tjugondagknut when we were little, even though it has nothing to do with Christmas.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRg8HM6rz1N/

Project manager of Healty School Marie Harding
Hey all! My name is Marie and I work with our school initiative Pep Skola. My best tip for a healthy summer is to freeze organic seedless grapes. I'm crazy about ice cream, so to alternate a little more useful alternatives, it fits perfectly. If you also squeeze a little lemon on them before they go into the freezer, it tastes as tasty as a piggelin ice cream! ⁠
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRjg6YkjFzb/

Project manager of Leisure time Niklas Ek (Daniel's friend since their childhood)
Hey! My name is Niklas and I am the project manager for Leisure time, which includes our popular movement. My best tip for an active summer is to find a mountain and get up for it. How to get there does not matter - you can climb, walk or maybe even bike. If you also have a portable stove with you, you have something to look forward to once you are up, in addition to the view then of course. Our family likes to make it easy for us and then sausages are excellent and if you want, you take fruit salad as dessert. Do not forget the water just because it is difficult to move upwards.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmFtT6J8Ad/

Communications manager Emma Blomdahl Wahlberg
Hey! My name is Emma and I am the communications manager at Generation Pep. Since I love watermelon, of course watermelon is my best tip for a healthier summer. The good thing about watermelon is that it can vary so much. You can, for example, have it in salads, but you can also make super good ice cream or slush on watermelon by freezing it and then mixing - either by yourself or with frozen banana for a creamier texture. Both me and my son love it!

The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences GIH is taking another important step forward in the work of broadening and deepening research on the connection between healthy brain functions and physical activity. It is a unique project where well-qualified researchers work together with knowledge-supplementing companies.
KK-stiftelsen, GIH and twelve companies (AbbVie, Avonova Hälsa, BioArctic, Health Profile Institute, Ikea, Itrim, Monark Exercise, Permobil, Saab, Sats, Skandia and Storytel) together invest just over 120 million in research on physical activity and healthy brain functions from a sustainable perspective.
The non-profit organizations Generation Pep, RG Aktiv Rehabilitering and Spinalis also support the project with their specialized expertise.

The presentations of their staff continue at Generation Pep's Instagram.
Project manager of Events Oskar Sewerin
Hey! Oskar here, and I'm the event manager at Generation Pep. My best tip for an active summer with the family is to steer an all-around game where both parents and children participate. You can, for example, build an obstacle course in the garden or compete in relays of various kinds. Maybe the children can come up with their own creative and active games to challenge the parents in. Regardless, everyone feels good from an active moment together. After the all-around fight, it is perfect to quench your thirst with watermelon in all its forms
https://www.instagram.com/p/CRy9rmuFwNk/

Digital & visual graphic communicator Kajsa Djupfeldt
My name is Kajsa and I am a digital & graphic communicator at Generation Pep. My best tip for a good start to a summer day is to eat a good breakfast with both fruit, berries and some vegetables. My favorite is a bowl of oatmeal with frozen raspberries and blueberries in the bottom for a little coolness, topped with sliced banana and pumpkin seeds on top and cold milk. If it is super hot outside, I can recommend that you also leave the banana pieces frozen, so that all the fruit and berries for the porridge are really cold. In addition, there is often a sandwich with cheese and cucumber
https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1id7YFzrk/

Project Manager of Healthy choices Elin Annwall (she is also the Managing Director of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation, has been from its start in 2010)
Hello! My name is Elin and I am the project manager for Healthy Choices. My best tip for an active summer is to swim! You can jump, dive, swim, climb a cliff and jump in again or run along the beach. Swimming in the sea or in a lake means a lot of wonderful movement without thinking about it. Do not forget to always swim with an adult or a friend and to keep track of the water deep enough to dive in, so that the bathing experience remains a fun experience.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4HQ8cNJZa/

Project manager of Healthy start in life Sara Westberg
Hello Hello! My name is Sara and I am the project manager for Healthy start in life. My best summer tip is to take the opportunity to eat a lot of fruit and berries during the summer because, for example, both strawberries and melons are the tastiest then and will be the best everyday luxury! In my family, we usually mix strawberries with a little water or yogurt and then pour the mixture into ice cream molds. Then let them stand in the freezer for a few hours and then you can enjoy homemade ice cream / yogurt ice cream

Generation Pep:
New investment will inspire upper secondary schools to introduce more movement
Together with a number of authorities and organizations, Generation Pep has been involved in developing an initiative aimed primarily at upper secondary school, where the goal is for all upper secondary school students to receive daily physical activity of at least 15 minutes every day for at least 12 weeks. This concentration of power is a way of repaying the activity debt that the Swedish upper secondary school has towards the students who had a large part of the previous school year as distance education.
We have interviewed The Swedish Federation of Student Unions' chairman Josefine Fälth and chairman of the Sweden's student councils Jennie Gustavsson, who both are also involved in the work to hear about why they and their members, the students themselves, think this initiative is important.
Actors in this initiative include the Swedish Public Health Agency, the National Agency for Education, Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, the Government Committee for the Promotion of Increased Physical Activity, the Swedish Association of Independent Schools, the Sweden's student councils, The Swedish Federation of Student Unions and Generation Pep.

Generation Pep's managing director Carolina Klüft has been interviewed to Rektorsmagasinet. She speaks a lot about the work of Generation Pep.

Carolina Klüft ended her sports career in August nine years ago. She still holds the European record in heptathlon.
Skolledare.se and RektorsMAGASINET have curiously approached Carolina with the question of what she does as Olympic champion and world champion today? Carolina has been a TV-program host and since 2019 she is the managing director of Generation Pep.
Carolina was in June named as an honorary doctor of medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg. Carolina says that she feels very honored and proud of the award and above all of the entire team at Generation Pep who work every day to improve the health of children and young people. Getting attention for this preventive work feels very fun and important. Carolina is asked what she thinks is the reason to the big breakthrough of Generation Pep? Carolina says that Generation Pep is founded by the Crown Princess couple and their commitment has of course been an important basis for the organization. Then they have a dedicated team that every day does the little extra to create the change. She is also asked what is the most challenging thing about being a managing director at Generation Pep? Carolina says: To be patient and not get frustrated that societal change takes time.

Generation Pep has for over five years worked to increase awareness, spread knowledge and create commitment to the issue of children and young people's physical health. During these five years, we have noticed that the interest in the issue is high, but we need even more people who are committed to creating change so that we have a society where all children and young people have the opportunity and desire to live an active and healthy life. The development is going in the wrong direction.

About Generation Pep's Pep Parks at the magazine of Sveriges Fastighetsutveckling (Sweden's property development):

When Solna resident Prince Daniel contacted Solna and asked if they wanted to be the first of Sweden to build a Pep Park, it was not a difficult decision to make.
- We thought it sounded like a very good idea!, says Pehr Granfalk, municipal councilor in Solna.
The Crown Princess couple has their own Foundation, which among other things runs Generation Pep which aims to get children and young people to move more and Pep Parks is a concrete way to achieve this goal. The parks are free and open 24 hours a day.
Granfalk says that he sees Pep Park as a mixture of playground and outdoor gym. Adults like to go to the outdoor gym, but it is not the most fun playground in the world, and if you go to the playground, it is not the most fun place in the world for adults. Here they can both move.
The first park is in Huvudsta, and there is the concept "100 meters pep". Granfalk tells that there you can challenge a pike, Carolina Klüft or a turtle to run 60 meters. The other park close to Friends Arena is more in a city environment.
A third park is being planned in Haga Park, where the Crown Princess couple lives. But where exactly is not clear. Granfalk says it's not entirely easy to find the right place, but they are working on it and when they know where to build they can design the park. Granfalk recommends other municipalities to invest in Pep Park.

The magazine has also interviewed Elin Annwall, project manager at Generation Pep and the managing director of The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation:
Generation Pep wants to see Pep Parks all over the country
- If you want to develop a Pep Park, just send the application to our website, says Elin Annwall.
The Crown Princess couple founded a Foundation before their wedding in 2010. The purpose of the Foundation is to counteract exclusion and promote good health for children and young people. The Foundation initiates, highlights and finances projects that work for good health and strengthened community among children and young people in Sweden. In 2016, the Crown Princess couple through their Foundation also took the initiative for Generation Pep with the aim of engaging the whole community in the work of promoting children's health.
The Pep Parks must be accessible parks in attractive locations. The parks in Solna have been well received, thinks Elin Annwall and says that what is fun is that the two existing parks are so very different. In addition to the two parks in Solna and one more planned there, additional parks will come to Gothenburg and Råcksta.
Annwall says that they know that the whole society must be helped to create better conditions for children and young people to be active. They also know that the outdoor environment is very important for physical activity, it has become clear especially now with the pandemic. The hope is now that property owners will be inspired by and have use for a Pep Park so that many attractive parks are created around the country.

The aim of the initiative is to inspire children and young people to use digital technology and make films with elements of movement. The theme in 2021-2022 is dance and via Moviement, children and young people will receive tips in both filmmaking and dance techniques.

Victoria and Daniel met today the participants of the expert council and youth council for the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation.
The Foundation supports organizations that work to promote good health and counteract exclusion among children and young people.
To ensure that the projects that the foundation supports effectively improve health and community, the foundation has an expert council. The participants act as advisors, assess and prioritize between the applications.
The Foundation also has a youth council which this year consists of eight young people from Fryshuset's primary school. The youth council presented its analyzes and recommendations to Victoria and Daniel and the expert council. The decision of the recipients of a grant will be given no later than 30 November. The members of the councils work voluntarily to support the Foundation.

A new Pep Park inaugurated today in Gothenburg
The Sports and Association Administration in the City of Gothenburg wants to create more opportunities for people in socio-economically vulnerable areas to have an active lifestyle. The administration will build a new type of activity area in 2021 at four locations in Gothenburg.
Blidväder's activity area has been developed in collaboration with organization Generation Pep and can therefore call itself a Pep Park. Generation Pep is a non-profit organization formed five years ago on the initiative of the Crown Princess couple.
- The whole society must gather strength to create better conditions for people to be active. One part is to create more attractive and accessible areas that make it easier to have an active leisure time and where a Pep Park can play an important role. Therefore, it is great that we see several players such as the City of Gothenburg who want to be involved in building Pep Parks, says Carolina Klüft, operations manager for Generation Pep.
At the inauguration Generation Pep's ambassador, long-distance runner Mustafa "Musse" Mohamed gave running technique tips.

International architecture award to Pep Park in Solna
The Pep Park "100 meters Pep" in Huvudsta, Solna has been awarded the IOC IAKS Bronze Award and also an extra award for its accessibility adaptation.
The International Olympic Committee IOC and The International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities IAKS, have during the award ceremony in Cologne on October 26, awarded the Pep Park "100 meters Pep" with IOC IAKS Bronze Award.
Generation Pep's operations manager Carolina Klüft says: Through an unusual aesthetic expression, the park can appeal to target groups who do not usually visit a playground or an outdoor gym. In the park, the boundary between play and exercise is blurred, which can be a way to reach those who do not feel at home on the playground but also not in the outdoor gym. The park invites you to train together across age limits so that the whole family can use it.
Pehr Granfalk, Chair of the Executive Committee/City of Solna, says: With "100 meters Pep", more children, young people and adults in Solna have the opportunity for play, movement and everyday exercise. It is fun that the park is now receiving international attention, and I am especially proud of the award for accessibility.
Pep Parks is a collaboration between the City of Solna, Fabege and Generation Pep, an organization initiated by the Crown Princess couple. The initiative is a pilot project with the aim of developing a model for collaboration between municipalities and the business communities. "100 meters Pep" contains trampoline, balance walk, running track, outdoor stage, plantations with edible fruits and berries and can also function as an outdoor gym for adults.

Generation Pep writes:
Join the Pep kilometer during week 44!
The autumn holiday is here and Generation Pep starts its annual challenge, the Pep kilometer. The Pep kilometer means that you run, walk, cycle, roll or otherwise get active at least 1 kilometer every day for a whole week.
Studies show that children and young people are most sedentary on holidays and weekends, where Generation Pep wants to make a targeted investment to get more movement just during holidays. That's where the Pep kilometer comes in.
- Our hope is that the Pep kilometer will be a fun and inspiring challenge that everyone can take part in. When it comes to moving based on our own conditions, we want as many people as possible to be able to participate and all movement really counts, says Carolina Klüft, operations manager at Generation Pep.
This is the second year Generation Pep drives the Pep kilometer during the autumn holiday. Generation Pep shares in its Instagram inspiration to get more people to participate.
