Health promotion for families with children for a more equal health

About En Frisk Generation

Depending on where you grow up, you have different opportunities to live a long and healthy life. We can change that.

En Frisk Generation is a non-profit organisation aiming to inspire families with low socioeconomic status to a more active and healthy lifestyle. We provide knowledge and tools about food and physical activities in order for the parents to support their children, and to give the children better conditions growing up.

En Frisk Generation works together with the municipalities, local organisations and companies to create a strong sustainable intervention that changes people's lives and creates healthier generations.

A research team from Karolinska Institutet evaluates the method.
