-  Forældrene synes det er problematisk, at drengene spiller så
meget på iPad, og forsøger at regulere det..Men er ikke helt enige
om, hvor meget der må spilles på iPads"
-  Der mangler måder, at gøre de eksisterende muligheder for
bevægelse (cykel, ture i lokalområdet, brug af legepladser og
andre grønne arealer) vedkommende og interessante: De bliver
hurtigt udtømte"
-  Det er svært at motivere sig om vinteren: Det er mørkt, og
udeområderne lokalt er ikke belyste."
-  Der er meget krudt på drengene (fodbold, leg, indendørs boldspil,
kammerater), og forældrene har også behov for stilletid. "
-  Der skal være et formål med udflugter, især for drengene"
-  - Mor har mest brug for frirum til at slappe af"

Top-3 Mulighedsrum & udfordringer "
-  Hvordan kan vi gøre de lokale faciliteter
og muligheder indbydende og
spændende? "
-  Hvordan kan vi få børnene væk fra
iPads, men benytte deres eksisterende
interesser til at fremme bevægelse?"
-  Hvordan kan vi engagere både mor og
far, og forene familiens forskellige
holdninger, præferencer og behov? "
Health promo,on is done with people, not for people Enabling change Go out and meet people in their everyday Focus on family (group) rather than individual Producing knowlegde How is health acted out in everyday life, and how are health views constructed? Health is quan5fiable rather than qualita5ve I don’t par,cularly enjoy running, but I like to eat and drink alcohol. So I basically do it to avoid gePng fat. Mom: (going for a swim:) Well, it’s not proper excercise, but it feels as if you’re doing something for your body. I mean, you get a kick out of it, and feel sort of wellness-­‐like from it – you know? Change is SOCIAL Boy 12 years: : yeah, cause I don’t want to be fat, cause then you don’t get much out of life and then you might be bullied. And I don’t want that, I want to have friends. Health is a vulnerable subject Parents worry / have bad conscience. Never feel healthy enough Consequences in exhibi,on design We can facilitate a posi,ve move in everyday life through experience Making it about iden,ty, worth, feelings, aPtudes and ac,ons, rather than tradi,onal science communica,on Families want health to be more than calories Share it! Exhibits designed for mul,ple users – being together as a family Facilita,ng dialogue and embracing different core competences Targe,ng crea,vity and crea,ng curiosity THANK YOU!
