Finns spend most of their waking hours sitting or be laying around. This increases with the transition from younger to older age groups. Immobility is also a challenge in other European countries. The I3-INSHAPE project contributes to meeting this challenge. Today’s development work requires cooperation between different actors. The project will network with actors in different countries and develop knowledge on the subject.
Companies in the sport and well-being sector play a key role in the project.
