Welcome everyone to join us on hikes together with art therapist

We look forward to two free hikes this week for people with children, focusing on family bonding and health promotion. The hikes will combine active exercise and activities, supervised by an art therapist and a psychologist.

We expect to welcome families with children in one of two age groups:

• On Friday, 15 September, at 17.00 - families with children up to 7 years. Start at Zirgu sala near the Nature House to walk the route to Raiņa Park together.

• On Sunday, 17 September, at 11.00 - families with children aged 7-11 years. Start at the Southern Forts to walk together along Liepāja beach to Kūrmājas prospekts.

Please register for the hike by sending a text message to +371 27 833 180, indicating the date, age group of your children and number of family members taking part in the hike.

Hiking will be instructed by experienced trainers Dace Dieviņa and Kristīna Petermane. Each hike will start with registration, an intro briefing and safety information, as well as a joint warm-up. During the hike, participants will enjoy a series of activities led by an art therapist and a psychologist to promote family bonding and cooperation. At the end of the hiking, we will do warm-down exercises and share a meal together. Please wear comfortable and weather- and exercise-appropriate clothing.

The family bonding activities are funded by the European Social Fund project No 9.2.4.2/16/I/088 within the project "Liepāja.Healthy.Active.Happy."
