HEALTH INITIATIVE

#movewithIES

IES Gävle is proud to be part of the national health initiative #movewithIES. This means we are taking a clear, structured step toward making physical activity and healthy habits a natural part of everyday school life.

According to the annual PEP Report, children and young people in Sweden are still not moving enough or eating healthily. Since 2019, there has been no real improvement. Today, only 3% of children meet national guidelines for both physical activity and healthy eating.

At IES Gävle, we believe schools play a key role in turning this around.

Through #movewithIES, we aim to:

Support students in reaching the WHO recommendation of 60 minutes of daily physical activity

Educate students about both physical and mental health

Build long-term habits that support learning, wellbeing, and future success

Our goal is simple: healthier students learn better and feel better. By embedding movement and health into everyday school life, we give our students stronger foundations — in school and beyond.
