Little Sprouts Active was created because children are raised in an expanding digitalized landscape, and studies are showing that youth are excessively engaged in screentime, becoming increasingly sedentary, overweight, unfit, and disconnected from natural environments.
Green Blue Active aims to provide safe and health-enhancing activities for children to move, play, and learn to manage their big emotions- all while connecting with nature, and recognizing the value of the environment for health.
Our classes are instructed by a native English speaker. This is a great way for little ones to gain vocabulary and practice English in a playful atmosphere.
Participants are introduced to green exercise concepts:
- physical activity for mood improvement and increased 'happy' hormones
- mental restoration through mechanisms in the forest- the 'awe' factors
- how the tree's immune system supports our immune system
- how physical activity supports brain functioning
- for older youth- the power of unplugging for well-being and mental health
- practice in meditation, mindfulness and positive psychology for empowerment, stress reduction, cultivating kindness, empathy and more
We offer Little Sprouts Active sessions at special events, shelters, schools, sports clubs, and youth clubs in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, and Berlin. We offer customized classes to fit learning objectives and develop health promotion programming for kids.
