MOVEment Pills Toolkit: #FindYourMOVE and enjoy better health!
About
More evidence is emerging about the physical and mental health benefits of exercise and leisure. But time is still one of the biggest barriers preventing people from taking up regular physical activity. The clue to taking the first steps towards an active lifestyle is to break it down into “bite-sized” movements – like pausing quickly to take medicine or (in colloquial terms) to pop a pill.
At ISCA, we first developed our eye-catching MOVEment Pills boxes in 2015 (based on a concept created by our Italian member UISP, who has partnered with pharmacies across Italy to distribute its pill boxes). In this toolkit we’ll present an inside look into this successful NowWeMOVE & UISP initiative and show you how to use it in your work as MOVE Agents who want engage more people in physical activities.
