In February, the representative of the WHO Chief Coordinator Francesco Zambon attended the meeting at LSU where project activities were discussed. Later on, the information about the project was published on the official website of the WHO.

A special programme – distance learning sessions – has been developed to promote physical activity among Kaunas region communities. Lithuanian Sports University broadcast on-line sessions once a week. The residents of Kaunas district neighbourhoods watched physical activity sessions and performed physical activity at their own viewing sites (community rooms, schools, etc.). 350 Kaunas region community members got involved in the project.
