Wellness Week is back: from 16 to 24 September

“Wellness Week – The week of movement and healthy lifestyles” is back from 16 to 24 September throughout Romagna, an event promoted by the Wellness Foundation and the Emilia-Romagna Region under the patronage of the University of Bologna and the Regional School Office for Emilia-Romagna, made possible thanks to the participation of an extensive network of public and private entities, facilities and actors participating in the Wellness Valley project.

Sports and Fitness, Outdoor Movement, Healthy Eating, Psychophysical Wellness and Wellness Culture will be at the heart of the eighth edition: from wellness trekking to yoga sessions, from beauty routines to nutritionist consultations, from dance classes to water jumping… to challenging outdoor trails to put yourself to the test! But that’s not all: meetings on healthy eating, medical conferences, regenerative walks on the beach and in the woods, e-bike tours, trekking and orienteering, and sports activities for children, teens and adults.

A vast calendar of more than 300 initiatives proposed by more than 80 Wellness Valley stakeholders, (www.wellnessweek.it),to discover Romagna as a land of excellence and expertise in wellness and quality of life.

Among the scheduled events, worthy of note are the numerous initiatives organized by CUSB in the Alma Gym on the campuses of Cesena, Forlì and Rimini on the occasion of International University Sports Day (Sept. 20); “Cesena in Wellness,” a well-established event at the Cesena Hippodrome Club that attracts thousands of people every year for a full immersion in sports, fitness and wellness, thanks to the activities organized by the gyms and sports centers in the area; “Wellness Valley Cammina“: a series of walks organized by local Walking Groups simultaneously in different locations (Sept. 21). Also noteworthy is the involvement of various primary and secondary schools, which – in addition to participating in calendar appointments – will involve children and youth in wellness activities during teaching hours.

Last but not least, there are several events scheduled for September 23 for #BEACTIVEDAY, a day established by EuropeActive and supported by the European Commission to widely promote healthy lifestyles based on sports activity and exercise.

Wellness Week also marks the launch of an innovative campaign to promote physical activity and exercise, carried out by the Wellness Foundation together with the Emilia-Romagna Region and Ausl Romagna, in collaboration with the Ordini dei Medici and the Ordini dei Farmacisti of the provinces of Forlì-Cesena, Ravenna and Rimini, and Agifar.

It will be a special edition to celebrate 20 years of Wellness Valley and 30 years of Wellness, the lifestyle based on regular exercise, healthy eating and positive mental approach introduced by Nerio Alessandri, President of the Wellness Foundation and founder of Technogym.
