Increasing the working ability and preventing exclusion of the people outside working life are big societal challenges. More customer-oriented services and new combinations of guiding and activating services to increase well-being are needed. Physical exercise and healthy food produces well-being for people and create positive impacts to health, both physically and mentally.
This project has been planned in co-operation with Lasten liikunnan tuki and Etelä-Hämeen Martat. The actions are in line with Häme regional development plan 2018+.
The objective of this project is to increase working and operation abilities, well-being, quality of life and empowerment of the people outside working life (50 people). The aim is also to increase the social inclusion, responsibility and equality especially in those target groups where the social inclusion is most vulnerable. This will help the target group move towards working life in the long term perspective.
The idea of the project is to provide the participants versatile combination of services supporting personal well-being, control of life, resources and sense of community. The actions of the project will also increase the co-operation of public and third sector actors.
The project actions can be divided into three categories:
1. Physical exercise groups
Instructed groups of physical exercises are organized five to seven times a week. The participants can choose the best suited group or groups for themselves. The exercises are planned very easy to start and participate and the wishes of participants regarding the contents of the programme are heard. The groups will also get to know different places and clubs where the participants will be able to continue practicing physical exercise in the future by themselves.
2. Cooking courses
Instructed groups where the basics of the cooking for healthy and affordable home food are being taught for the participants. Kitchen hygiene, avoiding and sorting waste and principles of the sustainable development are included to the courses. Also healthy snacks are prepared together in order to use them together when doing some trips or physical exercises.
3. Pop up events
Project will participate to different kinds of events in order to support the target group to increase physical exercise and to encourage healthy food choices.
Hankkeen varsinainen kohderyhmä ovat työelämän ulkopuolella olevat (mm. pitkäaikaistyöttömät, maahanmuuttajat, nuoret, ikääntyneet). Erityisesti huomioidaan ne ryhmät, joiden hyvinvointi ja sosiaalinen osallisuus on uhatuin. (vähintään 50 henkeä)
Hankkeen välillistä kohderyhmää ovat työ- ja palveluorganisaatiot, joiden yhteistyötä ja palveluprosesseja pyritään monipuolistamaan sekä henkilöstön osaamista lisäämään. Tällaisia organisaatioita ovat mm. kuntouttavan työtoiminnan yksiköt, aikuisten ja nuorten työpajat, sosiaalipalvelut, työvoimahallinto, lähiökeskukset, ohjaamo, Kumppanuustalo.

Increasing the working ability and preventing exclusion of the people outside working life are big societal challenges. More customer-oriented services and new combinations of guiding and activating services to increase well-being are needed.
Physical exercise and healthy food produce well-being for people and create positive impacts to health, both physically and mentally. Therefore project actions were extremely relevant. Project provided extra resources for guiding the customers related to more active daily life, preventing exclusion, improving social inclusion and increasing working and operation abilities.
Project was implemented during Covid 19 -pandemic which caused some challenges for the activities. The project workers had to reinvent new ways to implement the instructed groups. The challenges related to the Covid and the restrictions were very challenging for the target group whose abilities and resources were often already limited.
People participating in project actions have experienced their working and operating ability being improved and their wellbeing and quality of life being increased
The spoken and written feedback requested from the participants reflected that the activities of the project have created actions in daily life which promote the wellbeing of the participants. Cooking courses have provided new food habits, improved meal rhythm, increased the use of healthy food ingredients, like fish and vegetables. Participants have understood that physical exercise and healthy food have positive effects on their wellbeing. The group spirit was felt nice and cheerful.
The sense of equality and inclusion of the customers have increased. Their initiatives and responsibility in their daily life have improved.
People have felt important to participate the planned project activities even though it might have felt difficult to leave the home for the activities. Activities together and the company of other people have refreshed their days.
Customer oriented activities, services and guidance have been increased. New kinds of cross sectoral service combinations have been promoted.
The step for participating the group meetings have been too big for some participants. Then the possibility for individual guidance has been provided in some cases. Changes in groups, social situations and interaction have been challenging for some participants but the group spirit has been good throughout the project.
Cooking courses were organized in the kitchen of Etelä-Hämeen Martat and physical exercise in the gymnasium of Hämeenlinna swimming hall. The participants had some trips and made some meals for picnics. Physical exercise was organized also in the places close to the participants’ homes.
The objective of Pop Up events was to promote the existing groups and find more participants from the target group. Each event had its own theme according the event.
The combination of different parts of life and wellbeing supports the best way of the operating ability and empowerment of the target group. The action-based guidance methodology considers different skills of the participants. The project has created added value and new solutions for existing services related to increasing the wellbeing and working and operating ability of the target group. It has also strengthened the role of the third sector in preventing the social exclusion. The co-operation between third and public sector has increased.
The results of the project will be developed and utilized after the project. The co-operation created during the project will continue also in the future.
The project was implemented in Hämeenlinna and Janakkala. The quantitative objective was to get 50 participants to the project. There were altogether 72 participants according to the official starting registrations. In addition to these, there were also several tens of participants, who did not want to register themselves for various reasons. There were 39 female and 33 male participants, 35 young participants (female 11 and male 24) and 37 over 30-years old participants (female 28, male 9). Covid restrictions challenged the project workers to create new kinds of guidance methods, like remote guidance and actions based on video guidance. The most affected actions were the Pop Up-events, only 14 were organized instead of the planned 20 events because of the restrictions.
